Senses alive and wild, I ran on the path of life, my eyes capturing the wondrous colours of nature and people, my skin revelling at the touch of the breeze , my body moving to the rhythm of life....and then... I plunged into a tunnel....I looked around in confusion, the laughter dying on my lips. All I saw was darkness. My mind fought against this imprisonment and I struggled against the vacuum which was devoid of all colour, sound and feeling. I couldn't breathe and I knew I would be strangulated if I didn't find a way. I groped around the walls looking for an escape....there had to be one...every tunnel has an end, every maze has an exit...mine is just around the corner. I kept searching, my mind focussed only on the route of escape. I found it and I began my slow, tortuous journey... I can see the light filtering through. I have made it. Its so close. My senses clamour at the approach of freedom and liberation....
