The Other Side

I watch the shadows between the dark
and the light

I watch to see if something is there, at
the edge of the night

I hear echoes of voices, so clear
as to say

Be careful young Master, beware how
you play

With breath held close, not a moment
of fear

One step, then another, out into
the clear

The shadows veil lifted, a shimmering
light abounds

The echo of voices, louder, resonating
the sounds

We welcome the willing, we welcome
the strong

This is your place, your time,
you belong
