In This Place

How shall I speak to what I once was in the dawn of my subsequent life, with my eyes wide open staring fiercely toward my end. I’ve played this song over and over in my head never really knowing what was said, yet as I lean into the shadow of this darkness The lyrics are so sweet to my soul. Will I wake up on the other side bathed in a euphoric light of meaning or will this be the commencement of my doom, the phantom that has terrorized my dreams. Yet with all of this uncertainty comes clarity and with this clarity comes agony and with my agony comes hope, that there is something there. That there is a place where I can feel with every breath that I take and every star that I gaze will this place be that place. I do not know yet I shall depart with both feet I must leap, willing to accept who I am in this place, Oh this magnificent place.
