In the Tunnel

Long it has been 
My tunnel awaits 
Long it will be 
For me to awake 

Darkness numbs 
The loud surrey
Kindness keeps warm
I'm reminded not everyday

Secluded from this small world 
Smaller it seems
But this too is enough 
to bring joy or weep

Like every other sorrow 
This tunnel is my morrow
And this too shall pass
With many more to follow
