The Abyss

Jumping in the unknown.

Making the discomfort my new home.

Jumping in, a chill to my body, both heart and soul.

Getting lower and lower,

feeling so alone.

Will I make a friend down there?

I honestly don’t know.

I won’t until I get to the bottom, no place else to go.

Getting lower and lower, so dark and so cold.

How will I warm myself, in this new home.

Nothing but the clothes I wear, this fall taking taking to long.

“How much longer?” I ask

“Not much farther,” whispered from the darkness

An answer back

I fall to my fears, I fall to my death, I fall to my uncertainty, I fall to my final life test.

I am finally to the bottom, and I strain to see.

Before me I reach

Someone in this dark lonely abyss, waiting for me.

They probably felt all the thing I just experienced, except being left here alone,

With no one to greet them, to this new home.

Another lonely soul, just like mine, searching for warmth

In this lonely abyss , now ours, not just mine.
