Into the Dark

Come closer
The doorway
seems to sing.
Its darkness, beckoning
you to step through.

Come closer
There is nothing to fear.

Come closer
          The shadows will
not
          harm you here.

Come closer
Look deeper.
Tread nearer.
Cross the threshold,

these clean streets hold nothing
for you.

Come closer
The sun is
dropping.
Come in.
Come in.
Come in.

Come closer
You will leave,
different
and yet the same.
A simple
change. 

Come closer
It's about
to be
cold out
in the dark.

Come closer
The doorway. It sings.
