The Light

by

Brian Labenne

I was walking through a dungeon
black all around me yet i thought i could see
walking around aimlessly blinded by my selfishness
all the time thinking i was free
but in reality i was shackled to the ground.
I loved the dungeon
and i thought it would give me anything i desired
then one day, after many years of wandering,
a light shone upon me and for the first time i could see
i looked at my hands and feet and saw the shackles
amazed at how the dungeon had tricked me i reached to remove them
as i did a hand grabbed mine and that same hand reached down and set me free
"Thank you" i said
peering into the light trying to see someone, something
"My son" a booming voice answered...then it continued
"Look at this place, this horrible place
that has enslaved you for years.
look at the suffering and deceit
all this pain, fear and worrying
But i am here to tell you how to beat this place and go to a place with no fear no suffering called heaven
all you have to do is keep you're eyes on the light and it will make the path to heaven clear and easy to see
many times you will be tempted to look away from the light and look back to the dungeon.
but stay strong my son
what i ask of you is that you show people, blinded by the dungeon, the light.
stay strong my son...stay strong"
That day my life changed
I could see clearly
it's been a couple years since i was set free
sometimes i look away from the light
but it's always there to guide me when i look back
