Comfort
The dark and dank hall lies ahead
I see movement from here in my bed
not wanting to go into the void
It is something I cannot avoid
I pace myself through the steps
No too fast I tell myself
Slowly I creep through the blackness
Feeling my way about the vastness
Touching upon things I cannot see
I rub my shaking hands over each
Hoping I can sense what they are
I see something moving like before
I leave my comfort and go forward
Ahead I see a glimmer of gold
My curiosity has piqued in this adventure
I cautiously move ahead even further
My heart is pounding fervently in my chest
My breath compounding with every step
I blink my eyes in the darkness I am surrounded by
Keeping my eye on the glowing light
After what seems an eternity I reach the end
My heart quickens as I see what brought me around
An open door that leads to somewhere I know not
It beckons me to come forward out of the dark
I scan my thoughts and question the motive
Is it someplace I really want to live?
I ask if I can come back to the comfort of this place
My overprotective heart knows the answer of course
The darkness holds such a huge place in my life
But the light ahead seem to be so right...
