My Street - Michael Hemmer

My Street

As I walk down this dark road, I look
Back to the lights behind me and prepare
For the cold, silent mystery ahead.
As the warmth from the light behind me fades,
I know all I can do is continue
Walking or stare back into the past,
But the past has its wounds so I must walk.
The dark unknown before me is daunting,
But I must not fear what I cannot see
And do all that I can to reach the next
Light that is hidden up in the distance.
Just as the warmth fades from behind me,
I know that the warmth will soon be here to help
But that makes the cold bite so harsh in the dark.
