Here I stand,
on a ground,
with scars, cracks, and breaks,
as it trembles with the hesitation
of a fall
my feet take many tiny steps
indiscernible from my conscience
almost unmoving and scared
as earth disappears into
the empty nothingness
like space and time and stars
there is a split between the road
a fork
two paths
their fates unknown
what lies beyond the blank horizon
two possibilities i fear to know
will a path choose me?
will my steps echo?
Such a journey
with many flickers of
minds
their embers resonate
flames lick my lips
and i mind my steps
Lover why don't you share
Your nightlight of lighting bugs
Sealed into your translucent mason jar
Illuminating my pathway
To a dreamland
Safe, far away from here
I don't have your arms to hold me
The darkness is overpowering now
