Enter the Light – A Takhayyal poem

Let the light seep in,

Softly treading on my skin,

Steps gently falling,

Slowly awakening my numb limbs

My eyes begin to see colours:

Of gold and green,

Blue and orange

Warmth,

A feeling long buried, forgotten

Colour

Streams through my being,

Singing a melody,

Washing away the greyness

Of my world.

Purple, pink and blue

Bathe me, bathe me,

Lights of every hue,

Awaken my soul

Within the crumbling walls

Of this human shell,

Replenish this drained body

Green, orange, lemon, peach

Revive my senses

Encase me in your colourful warmth

Make me get up

And breathe once again.
