She looked about her
All she saw was darkness,
The kind, which hides everything
The kind, which puts fear in men’s hearts
She yelled.
On one answered
She cried again
Still no answered
She yelled thrice
And this time someone answered
“Are you scared?”
“Yes” replied the blue eyed girl
“Why?” it asked
“Because I am afraid of what I cannot see”
The voice remained silenced
“I’m afraid that I am blind and cannot see! Please help!”
A load silence filled the air that it choked her ears

She cries-
“Pray ye speak!
Oh gentle voice of comfort.
I can’t stand the thought of being alone…
In this Darkness!”

Finally the voice replied
“You are not alone in this sea of Darkness
But, are with millions of those
That are just like you”

“How come I can’t hear them
nor feel their presents?”

“That is simple, they don’t know that they’re in it.”
“How can’t They?”
“Their minds are closed and are asleep.”
“Why are they asleep?
How is it that they can’t hear my cries?”
“They sleep because they don’t care
Don’t think…nor search
Don’t ask
Don’t learn
And because of their lack of sight
They will believe lies”



The girl sat there amongst the Blackness
And cried a crystal tear.
“Why are you crying?” asked the deep voice
“I cry for Them, for they will suffer”
“It is good to feel pity for them
But, don’t cry for Them
Fear for Us and what is to come”

What will come?

“A prophecy can’t only predict, it can warn
It’s more of a premonition…
It will only come true if nothing changes
Even when it comes true… there still a chance for Hope
Nothing is a little too late”

“Wait!” cried the blue-eyed girl
“Wait on what?
I did not say I would leave”
“Sorry, I was afraid that you will leave me here
And tell me everything”
“If there’s something to believe in
Believe that I won’t leave you until you can see.”
“I don’t have a reason to see if there is no hope
And you don’t have the time to force something that
Wasn’t meant to be”
“I don’t believe that to be true”
“Then will I see?”
“Find answers”
“Answers to what?”
“Answers to everything”

The girl sat a bonder
And the longer she sat
More she saw an orange and yellow star
Soon the star grew and grew
Soon it gave light to this Darken land
And her sight returned
She look to her left
Then her right

“I don’t believe in what I have said before”
What are you afraid off?
“I am afraid of what they don’t know.”
