For a friend, with whom I spoke this evening. And expression of sympathy, which I posted here once before. But it is time to bring it out again, I think. It's about....choices, questions with no answers, when you face two paths and fear neither is right. And you can't, for the life of you, see which way to go. I felt that in writing this, quite a while back, as I recall. And so I leave you to it.

Questions in Twilight

What do you do when you can’t go back?

What do you do when the future is dark?

When every path stretches never-ending into shadow

When you no longer have any way out

How you deal with the darkened silence

When all the world seems gray

And sunlight, though it rises, is hidden in the mist

When your steps are not your own

And you’re too tired to go on

But if you fall, you fall forever

So don’t trip

What happens when you realize there’s no going back?

How do you go on when you can’t see tomorrow?

And worst of all you know,

It’s your fault that you’re here.

And you are the one person that can’t help you get out.

When day and night mix, lost in the gray,

How will you sleep?

And when will you wake on the morrow?
