Rescued

An abyss started to drag me down deeper,
Depths blacker than black,
Darker than a new moon's night,
All the evil was engulfing me, trying to kill but I struggle,
What do I do? Just die?
And when all hope was lost, I gave up,

But light, brilliant, pure, and soothing,
Consumed the darkness,
Where did it come from?
So I looked up and saw an outstretched hand,
Familiar yet unknown,
Gentle yet rough,
Beautiful yet scarred,
I reached up and I'm out of the darkness and light,
All around me was everyone I loved,
They were smiling and laughing,
Asking, "Where've you been?"
And as they were taking me away,
I had felt a hand pat my head, a fatherly gesture,
I turned around and saw nothing,
But I looked up and smiled.
