"Straight Ahead"

Like the night...

Shadows have moved over the light

Doubt casts shades of gray

To all places colour once shone bright

Emotions weigh

Tension pulls...

The minds eye calls out for an anchor

To be back to its safe harbor it once called home

Swaying with the waves

The heart drifts alone

The horizon line...

Like a conclusion, seems infinite

Close enough...

Yet so far out of reach

Life is at the mercy of the changing tide

For the realization comes quietly

Almost silent at first...

That the senses don't pay any bother

Now it builds...

Growing...

A presence known

From an embrace broken

A sign...

A beacon calling...

Burning red...

Danger...

Straight ahead.
