Drip, drip, drip
Slowly like a snail
Invisible like a wisp
It comes, step by step
We do not see it
It meanders and skips
It sneaks up on us
It catches us unaware
It hides and pounces
It’s stealthy
Once we notice it
It lights up
When we respond to it
It grows
And grows
It grabs us
It drags us along
It is like a magnet
And more come
They join in
Soon we are dragged along
Soon we are bumping around
Soon we are engulfed in them
Soon we are plunge into the dark
Soon we are feeling fear
We can’t seem to escape
The darkness comes
We are feeling anxious
We are feeling frightened
We have become them
And then we pause
There is a light
It first is faint
Then it’s stronger
The light grows
We feel the light’s energy
We feel it’s strength
We feel it’s love
We know it’s real
We awaken and free ourselves
We become the light
And we realise
That all there was in the dark
Was our mind, it’s fear
We were grabbed by its thoughts
Now we know the light
We can say goodbye
We can let those thoughts
Flutter by
We are free
