In and Out of Dark Corridors

you walk to the door    turning
the knob    finding 
a perceived reality lighting the world
a perceived light explaining the world

a dark corridor leading 
into another dark corridor
then to a lobby
and a vestibule door   to what 

you believe 
you hope
to be an exit 
from your interior 
to the outside 

outside you find
true reality and 
meaning    occasionally 

leading 
light to dark
dark to light
in to out 
out to in

to the end
