Drifting into
a dark abyss
full of
weary thoughts
blocked visions
I dream of a past
which
ceases to exist
one lacking
  impure energies crossing over
an unwanted threshold
I never asked the demons
to cross over to my side
yet  hidden fears can
manifest into the open air
I take a deep breath as
I dive head first into the cold
crisp water and swim into the unknown
water is shockingly cold
  mind is shockingly clear
What lies ahead isn’t nearly
as frightening as that which
I’m swimming
far, far away from
