Two Shadows and a Light
I've been having an odd dream lately. I can't exactly explain it in normal words. However I wrote this down -
It takes place, in a house so bland; in fact it was simply a monochrome blob.
A family is inside. It was a father, a mother, and an infant in their arms so small. The parents, like shadows, the child, like a light. Why were they like this, you ask? Alas, I'm not sure.
You know, it wasn't all bad, the sights I saw, through this looking glass.
That is, until the child is set in its crib to rest.
This happy scene takes a turn for the worst as the infant, wakes to see flames roaring so high. A horrible sound in the air, screams of sorrow, and of loss.
The fire subsides and the home is gone. All that is left is a tall pile of ash. The parents are gone, nowhere to be seen. But a figure of light steps up to the remains.
The glow bends down, reaches into the pile of ash. Picking up something small.
A ball of light oh so dim, but was there nonetheless.
In the arms of the figure of light.
