Darkness Approaches

Darkness approaches,
consuming the light rapidly.
But the soul is
trapped
Searching for it’s one place of solace.

The guitar stops,
the drums cease to produce
their beat;
paralleling the thump of my heart
the dull sound fading
with every passing beat
life becomes a mere memory

It is dark now
and I hear the gates
that await me
creaking open.
Slowly.

A new era has begun
