crawling into the opening
searching for a guiding stream
floating into the center of the confined entity
all the walls so perfectly enclosing
it’s the point of no return, the point of no progression
in the flickering fire of conscience
decisions are revealed with unbearable consequences
projected history, of all the failures
perceiving all the forms of fallen human nature
with all the force of regret
a crack will eventually burst
shading sunlight on what happened
acceptance is the crevasse
