For a moment, he thought he heard
a woman’s voice…
the wisdom of the ages…
whispering up from the chasms of the earth.
A chill scurried up his clammy spine
as he caught- real or imagined
– a faint air of foreboding.
A vaguely perceived warning
like words in the wind
that exist in the mind.
Self doubts arguement
to a tricky decision.
His finger hovered still,
an eternity now.
Shaky handed second guessing
and it’s invisible barrier of indecision.
Courage to act,
courage to do.
His vow to himself.
His reason.
His logic.
“This must be!”
He pushed the send button
and it was done.
The opening line is the last line of Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code.
