The Journey Within

Days along the mysterious path,  
    Doors open to the unknown.  
The strange accompanies me;  
I become a turbulent sea.  

I hear no knock on my door,  
But I see strangers in my room.  
      They awaken elements of the deep;  
I become a vessel of conflicting thoughts.  

There’s a rising of the unseen,  
        A gathering of the invisible.  
There are two worlds in my chamber;  
I become an enigma.  

Visions from my mind walk into the daylight,  
    There’s an entangling by the tendrils of darkness.  
I push against the tide and the assailants;  
I become a fiery warrior.
