Dark long hallway
A streak of light breaks through the ceiling
At the other end darkness
I look deep into the darkness
I can’t make out anything out
Nothing but black
Emptiness lies in the darkness
The light can’t reach
I inch closer
Not to the light
But to the darkness
In the emptiness, something calls
I feel it pulling me closer
Something lives in those shadows
I want to find out what
I’m drawn to the unknown
Curious maybe
Not fearless
The hairs on my back stand
I walk closer past the light into the darkness
I feel at home in the darkness
It welcomes me
It suits me
It even knows my name
