A myth, a legend
A figment of my imagination
So long
The stories went on
For what seemed like forever
The initiative
The stories are fiction no more
I can now live fact
Actual occurances
I can now live
Obstacles, confusion
Sometimes it is too difficult
Keep away from fiction!
Keep trying!
Never give up, never lose hope
Something, sometime
Will come of the effort
And then I will live
Chasms
It seems that they are all there are
Too vast, too deadly
Dare not to cross them
But there may be gold on the other side
Try your hardest to cross them all
Without getting hurt
Pain will likely come
But you must risk it anyway
The effort great, the rewards often small
But rewards none the less
Rewards, gifts
The giver waits
And from his point of view
I seem as a giver, too
Or is that more fiction
Try harder to cross
Just to be sure

I jumped, I risked
I now hang by a thread
Over a bottomless pit
Of sadness and ending
I dangle, I slip
The giver is clearer to me now
Below me is a dark forever
Above me, behind his form
Is an irrodescent light
A standstill
I cannot hold on forever
He walks away
It is his choice
I let go
I am falling into forever
Never to see that brilliant light again
Until I fall so far that
Eternity
Begins again!
