Refuge

 

 

Darkness surrounds me.

No moon or stars to guide me.

I am lost with no hope.

The path is narrow and the journey long.

Perils and predators lurk in the black forest.

In the midst of my gloom, I stumble into a clearing.

A warm light beckons me.

A comfortable cabin awaits me.

My steps quicken to reach the door.

A rush of restored hope wells up within me.

I am safe at last.
