Into the Darkness
Descending down the spiral staircase,
Each step leading deeper into the
darkness.
The musky smell of ancient knowledge fills my nostrils.
Creaking
under my weight,
The iron corkscrew sways gently.
Deeper and deeper is
leads,
No end in sight, one not wanted.
Step by step more is
gained,
And if less is more, than I forget all I know.
I entered the
doorway to the steps,
With a head full of ideas and thoughts.
Each time I
place a foot forward,
An idea leaves, a thought disintegrates.
I have been
traveling in circles now,
For what seems like an eternity.
My mind like
that of an infant,
I have reached the point of imbecility.
I revel in this
truth,
Knowing nothing is the best knowledge ever.
Unlearn the biased
ways,
Learn with no inhibitions.
Time is the ultimate
professor,
Experience the best guidance.
Walk in the shadows,
Dance in
the light.
