Into the Thick of It
You step into a place unknown
Darkness spreads quickly like spilled oil
An ice-cold watery universe flows into you
Complete collapse, breathless
Light!
Instant expansion of space and time
A warm, orange glow balloons around you
Like a monarch lifting from its chrysalis
It feels like a bath in sunset waters
A journey begins here and now
All you know within an ember’s glow
Here you take on yourself, your dreams
Your passions and your fears
Here you wander
Finding yourself and others
Here you get
Into the thick of it
