Roads

The roads we walk 
have demons beneath*
hidden deep within the concrete,
a world where nightmares roam 
and the unknown lurks in the shadows 
of our doubt and we walk on
wary in the valley of darkness.

We walk on knowing there is light
beyond the mire and the muck
and the strife of life; the guiding star,
leading us out of the shadows 
that seek to keep us blind 
and hidden with the demons 
beneath the roads we walk.


*Mycroft Holmes, The Final Problem,  Sherlock S4 E3, BBC,  2017
