Falling

The darkness,
creeping in,
leaving me
alone
falling endlessly, rapidly hurtling towards the ground
that I can't see
grasping, clawing at the air,
searching for a way to
slow
my descent.
A surge of light,
of power,
of strength,
I find a handhold, a place to rest.
Holding myself close,
safe at last,
my mind moves on
in its slumber
leaving me
until I can
catch up
