new blood through old veins




to sit in the dark,
to swallow the humid wind,
to face the unknown,
or recall where you have been,
to build a set of beliefs,
or to see through them,
beautiful souls tangled in a twist of sin,

to go deeper,
is to go beyond
to be without,
is to go within,
to loosen,
to listen,
to open,
to overcome yourself,
is to begin.

Sage advice, Dox. Words to live by, but hard to live up to.

Dox, reading your poem is like descending cold, hard steps to the truth of darkness. Thanks for the enlightment.
