Embracing the Unknown

A Path from Darkness to Light

Enveloped by darkness, a realm unknown,

Carrying a thousand burdens, each one my own.

Losing myself in the vast unknown,

I step aside, let everything go.

Pressures retreat like never before,

Suddenly bathed in light, warmth I adore,

Every step forward, my worries no more.

Acrostic
