Stepping into
the darkness ...
Stepping into
the light ...
The difference
inherent
Though joined
in respite
The ingress
and egress
Which portal
to blame
One step
toward the shadows
One step
— toward the flame
(Dreamsleep: May, 2026)
Locomotion
We spend most of our lives
in transition
Trading wishes for dreams
— undefined

My friend, this reminds me of those moments in life where choices feel less dramatic outwardly than they do inwardly...small movements carrying enormous emotional or spiritual weight. The poem captures that liminal feeling beautifully...standing between shadow and flame without fully belonging to either. Really evocative work, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
We spend most of our life in transition,. thanks.
Kurt this holds multiple meanings in its metaphoric words. To find the light is to find truth or to be burned, to find the darkness may be oblivion or out of the lime light. A lovely write in its ambiguity
Yes, that double-edge. Thanks again.
