Tunnel

When you find yourself in a vacuum,

gravity pulling you down to the earth by your ankle,

and darkness enveloping your vision,

pause for a moment.

Notice the dancing light of fireflies

on a late sleepy summer night.

One after another, you will recall

a spark of smile on their lips.

Within you remains the warmth of your embrace.

Slowly, and gradually,

let your sphere of light expand.
