Through the door she walked …

A face did deflect the moon’s dark rays,
As she flew across the horizon – in a daze,
Transfixed in shock, consumed by fear,
In complete disarray did her mind flee.


The moon gave way to a bright blue sky
But somewhere within, she didn’t accept this lie,
For her mind was traitor, a cheat in disguise
Waiting - an error to consume and watch her cry…


The dreams into nightmares did turn beside,
Consuming all saneness that within did reside
The stench of doubt and the sound of faith,
Did create waves in her soul – a resounding kind.


As she fell from one world to one of a different kind,
Did she look around – uncertain, for an exit from the mind,
Not strength did she lack, but rather conviction inside
To fight her own mind and let go – move on with the tide…


As she flew across the blue that engorged the mind,
She found no reason to try, for you see she was blind,
Blinded by the cocoon that enveloped her psyche,
Turning her from a rebel to an unwilling aide,


As the games went on did the mind slowly tire,
Thence did she act upon a voice of a different kind,
As the whisper came through telling her the way,
She nodded slowly, an expression of uneasy glee…


At the next passage she fell – breaking the bond,
Thus the mind was ripped right free of her soul
As she moved on tentatively new vigor beside…
Embracing freedom from sanity as through the door she walked….
