There is no map

that directed

me here,

no compass

quivering towards

this place.

There are no

markers that

lead to this spot.

No guide leading

me to this

destination.

In no way

was I assisted by

the sun.

Nor did I

follow any

moonlit path.

The stars

above did not

point hither.

And the universe

provided no

guidance.

I didn’t

stumble into this

blindly.

Nor did I

find it by

touch.

I didn’t seek

this on my

own.

Nor is it

what I truly wish

to feel.

Though I’ve

followed no lure,

none of which

I’m aware,

I find myself

inexplicably,

drawn back into

darkness.

Humbly yours,

J
