Dark Waters

I cross the threshold into the unknowing,
Plenty can quantify my needs.
Whispers of hints,
Clues to the secrets which lie in the mist,
Are given,
And I am not blind enough to let them surpass unnoticed.

I wade through the dark waters,
Unsure of what lies beneath.
Snakes of terror,
Gators of death,
I refuse to shrink in fear.

I continue on,
Head held strong,
Above the current that buffets,
Trying to force me down.

For nothing brings me to its depths,
My will power far too great.
I climb those waves of steps and steps,
And renounce false fate.

Great job! After all courage is only fear holding on one moment longer.
