Into the Unknown (poem)

A whisper in the sleepless night,
a call to a future I can't paint,
an unknown that terrifies me.

This ringing in my ear tempts me beyond,
past all the certainties I hold,
into a place I don't even know exists.

The unknown is dark and nebulous,
before me a million paths split,
but only one calls out my name.

My legs tremble at the thought,
my voice quivering and weak:
why does it look so difficult?

One slip and I fall to darkness
following this voice into the uncharted,
is this a mistake I'll learn to regret?

But a power within me burns to go,
an old friend pulling me by the hand
into the shadows of the unknown.

-Zero
