Peace( a dream)

It was so close that I can feel it on my fingertips. "Will you consume me?" I asked. "That I don't know". It replied. So many times the darkness seemed appealing that I wanted to drown in it and never let go but it always manged to slip away from me. "I'm tired," I said. "But you can't give up because the day you cling to me, should be when you are left with no option even then I wouldn't want that for you. If I could I would even fight to keep myself away from me. Hold onto something or someone and keep afloat until you can swim on your own". It replied. "I don't think I have the courage and will to do that". I answered resignedly. Who knows maybe one day I would finally find peace.
