"SOON"

I thought this period gone.

A door locked behind me.

A key I thought I tossed,

but yet you lie right before me.

Should I be weary of your return?

Should I welcome you with open arms?

Should I be so frightened that this darkness must take form?

That my dreams are creeping up a storm.

& that my world is un-puzzling.

seeking forth a new picture for its pieces. 

Of what image shall appear...

My heart sit cold,

My soul lingers near.

This happening is of no wonder,

The birds have yet to miss forecast.

But did I yield?

I ran towards the lion unarmed and emotionally moribund. 

Expecting it pity, but it gave rouge. 

So what of me now...

A body seeking questions and answers.

Is this not a sadness beyond all sadness?

The dark river calls for me.

A boat I thought familiar.

A new journey, A new darkness, 

An ever changing self- Awareness. 

I thought I was awake...

I still lay asleep.
