Scary The Inside

addressing the guessing

　

inhabiting the darkness

with monsters

imagining, anything

　

this must be 

what the fear is

　

in the response

to a darkness

very sacred

within us

one known

but unseen

one felt

without touch

one broken

and invincible

the simple question

that kills her answer

forever always

what we cannot know

but only ask

so what will happen,

after this?

I felt someone really grappling with an unsolved problem in their mind. Getting bogged down with negatives while waiting for an answer. I felt a certain amount of turmoil going on. The imagination can create havoc and a fear all of its own. It can be a scary place to dwell. That's where you took me David. I may be way if course, but that is where I travelled to.

That sounds pretty good to me. This poem is vague and can mean many things. It's too hard to be specific, and I'm kind of lazy.

There are many pathways in a poem. That's what I like about poetry. It's open to interpretation.
