Stranded in a life I want no part of, attempting to find reasons for living. <br />There aren't any to be found. <br />Death beckons, sending brilliant lights taunting inner memories to flow out. <br />Tension building, stretching, looking for a way to ease the pain. <br />Exits appear at ends of long tunnels - light beyond - blue - warm - inviting. <br />There is no longer an entrance to life - it disappeared with the death of my Mom. <br />Left only now, is the final exit - the door to new life beyond.<br /><br />RoseAnn V.
