Darkness

She wanders through the darkness not knowing where she is going.
She just walks and walks.
She is alone.

Sometimes she thinks she hears water rushing.
She is sure it is her imagination.

Sometimes she thinks she sees something.
She knows it is too dark to see anything.

Still she wanders.
She does not know where she is going or where she has been.

Sometimes she stumbles and falls.
She picks herself up and continues on.

She realizes she is naked.
But she is not cold.
Still she is alone.

She does not know where she has been.
She does not know if she has been there before.

Still she wanders in the world of darkness
Not knowing where she will end up.
Not knowing if she will be safe.
Not knowing if there is an end.

The darkness consumes her.
It is all she knows.
She is becoming accustom to it.

There is some comfort living in the dark.
She feels safe but still does not know what lies ahead.
She feels like she wants to stay in the darkness.

She does not want to leave here.
So how does she choose?
Should she stay in the dark or seek out the light?
