watching my footsteps slowly dwell in this
empty walkway, the rapidity of my breathing steadily
alters my fainted vision.
powerless to see what’s behind this lengthy and
meandering trail, the still darkness continues to
wobble my somnolent body and soul.

i can hear faded voices echoing in the dimness of the night,
scared and disoriented, the corridor seems so elongated.
the serene reflection of the moon outside is undeniably amazing,
but its pale luminosity gradually kills me from within.

wondering if i can still escape this everlasting torment,
the voices are beginning to sound patent and obvious.
enlightened by the cheerful voices under the daunting dark sky,
i hastily chased these resonances until the murkiness swallowed my being.

taking my chances, i ran as deeply as i could,
until the beams of the sun elucidate the rusty creepy alley.

surprised from the eccentric sight,
i warily sat down on the floor
gazing at this peaceful and tiny square shaped room.
