Dark Travels
She walks in the darkness led by her fears and curiousity
In the distance she sees a bright light.
But it doesnt light her path.
Her curiousity draws her .
Her fears cause hesitation.
She steps slowly trying to see through the darkness.
She looks behind her ,she sees only the darkness.
Light ahead burns bright she steps closer again
She feels as tho she has stepped into a web
Her hands reach to pull it she finds nothing there
She stops again again looks both ways
behind her the darkness before her the light
She moves a bit closer to the light
She hears what she is sure is a wild bears roar
She shudders and shakes but this time she doesnt look back
Her eyes strain to see if her path is more clear.
Again she is drawn by her curiousity
She hears a voice in the dark
She knows it is close.
Sensing it has been close for awhile
She stops in her tracks
The voice tells her he can lead her to the light if she will trust
She looks again for the light
She sees nothing she turns in every direction in her fear
Her turns have caused her to loose direction
She begins to shake she hears the voice again
" Lil one can you trust "
Her voice quivers do I know you ?
" Lil one can you trust "
She knows she isn't alone the voice in the dark almost a comfort
Yes is her reply in a whisper
" What lil one ? "
She tries again her voice a little stronger
Drawn again by her curiousities
She feels her eyes being covered in the darkness
She shakes her knees feel weak
" Do you trust lil one ? "
Yes she says with a voice the seemed to echo
Hands slide down her shoulders to her arms and then one hand locks on hers
He leads she follows alittle grudgingly
Again the voice says
" Lil one do you trust ? "
Her step frees
Her mind races here heart beats wildly
She knows the voice she knows the touch
A calm falls her body
The hands grip loosens
The voice again
" Lil one you are there "
And she gives in to , this the begining of her travels.
