THE KNOWING

Tumbling weightless through
Space
Space
Space
Space down the dark corridors
No peek of light , Open your eyes wide, Squeeze them tight
It’s the same, same darkness
Sock footed scuffling steps
Through the dark so not to stumble
Are we floating or scuffling?
Shuffling or floating?
Wanting to feel a form in the darkness
And terrified of feeling something
Vast galaxies envelop, Into a pea sized infinity
Lodging itself in my chest
A bullet hole the size of a pin
So small and invisible , Yet so insidious it festers
Under the perfect porcelain veil
It is the portal to the truth, The darkness is the path
Find form in the void, Shuffle if you must
But trust that the floor is even and smooth
Float if you must, But know the dark corridor surrounds you
It will lead to the knowing
When you are ready
Only when you are ready
