A Darkened Call

The moist air
A darkened hall;
No answer replied
As I start to call.

All alone
In a darkened world;
An echo repeats
In one accord.

No hope for life
Just darkness I see;
The echo I hear
Sounds ditto of me.

In the distance
A light is made;
The echo gets quieter
As it starts to fade.

Hope and life
I do believe;
No echoes heard
No lies that deceive.

I stand in the light
With a brightened glare;
Nothing is heard
No vibrating air.

The strangeness scares me
And I turn to run;
Peace and quiet
All silence is shun.

I start to run
As fast as I can;
My footsteps echo
Again and again.

Finally I'm back
In the darkened hall;
No answer still
As I start to call.
