The brightest in the darkest

Stomping on nothing, bumping into invisible obstacles. Hands trying to feel around for something recognizable, while the sense of direction seems to be lost. There, when the darkness swallows you and you meet it with your deepest fears, there you may find her when you still yourself for a moment - letting the fear wash you over.

Because after the fear is gone nothing remains there, and if you can keep still a little longer, finally you can see some light a bit further away. She is the only one who is capable to bring a small light into that darkness, she is the only one who can lead you out of there.

Under the fear, desperation, and loneliness, she is waiting for you to show where to go next. The darkness turns into velvet and the obstacles standing no more in your way, but paving the path to move along toward … Toward what? Why would you go anywhere, when you have no hurry, when the velvet is comfortable, when you get so accustomed to the darkness after not being afraid of it anymore? Why would you let the light lead you anywhere any longer?

That is the final question you must answer before the darkness finally would release its grip on you…
