Affected

The moment has passed, the secret is out
There is little to wonder, yet still a lot of room for doubt
Look to the past for clues to misfortunes
Conclusion – you never really knew what you were doing.

The heart will speak in promises to evade affliction
Can you believe it?
Would it be smart?
Reach out a little further –
Discover - this realm is not for the faint of heart.

Preceding trauma lingers at the door
Can you move forward – inch farther – just a little more
Feel the warmth from within – asking you inside
Standing on the doorstep with a questioning mind
Realizing – there are no sure answers waiting what you might find.
