Inner Voice

"The road is vast, filled with possibility and promise"

It fills me with trepidation and desire. I've been alone for such a
long time now
I don't think I can come to terms with a different way of life. I watch
the sunrise in the heavens and I know that in a few short hours it will
set again leaving me lonely and afraid in it's bitter darkness.

"What about the challenge?"

I'm tired of it. Security and trust, where are these false friends? I
worked hard at life and love. Why have you abandened me when my need
was greatest? There are no footprints in the sand. I want to be a part
of something once more, I need to get off this ledge you've left me on.
I'm wary of the height and I need to be on level ground so that I can
run.

"Run where?"

Anywhere.

"But running doesn't solve the quandry. All must be faced in the
end"

The end. I long for that distant plane.

"Why would you want to precipitate such a journey?"

Because I'm so tired of the here and now.

"The here and now is gone?it passed while we were speaking."
