the tunnel

The beginning of the tunnel.

"I am growing to know how complex humans truly are,

and though tremendously terrifying,

it is a beautiful thing to know.

And I am only at the beginning of the tunnel."

-

The tunnel.

"I am standing at the ice cave looking up,

into swirling paths that keep getting steeper.

I know that if I don't start moving I will drown;

as what started as a drop has turned into a lake.

The ice has turned to stone,

the stone walls from umber to sand,

and the dirt swirling road feels eternal.

We started as a few and have gathered as a crowd.

Monsters and hanging bridges threat our climb.

The ultimate battle is with ourselves

as we reach never-ending steps.

My legs start giving and my body feels heavier,

the crowd closes in

and I finally see an opening,

a light at the end of the tunnel

an embraced greeting as we finally reach the top."
