Poetry

11. The cost of embracing darkness:

A sleep in the dark
Transformed his whole path,
Walking through the unknown, fearing it but curious at the same time,
Room to grow, with a point to show.
He knows there is an end. But when?
Just one foot in front of the other, then again and again,
It’s through trouble and turmoil that we all transcend,
Get ready to become awakened,
Be prepared for when you get shaken.
WOW… This coffee is strong, the effects last long.
He looks up with a start,
This life has a purpose projecting like a dart.
I can’t quit yet, so I turn back on the machine,
And I prepare myself for another cup, a slave to the bean.
