In the dark...

silence
hand moving in front of my face
unseen
serene

silence
so this is what it's like
here
in the dark

waiting for me
always here
waiting
for me
to see
nothing

that
from which I have run

that
which holds so much

that
which sees no sun

that
which is to teach
so much

so here i am
finally
at peace

in the dark

Open Door...

so there it is, open
looking at it
through it
see only far enough
the first step

pausing to remember
a lifetime of steps
bringing me here

your face
many faces
one little face
smiling
radiant

body
feet
prepare

mind
races

heart
heavy

for many I step
for myself I pause

forever
I will be known

for this step
