_Venture
‘An undertaking involving uncertainty as to the outcome’.
As my guidance narrows. The light grows stronger.
The path becomes so coarse. It disappears entirely.
Yet the light shows the way.

So many times I turn.
But all I see is the absence of light.
I wander into depths unknown. Leeches attach to me.
One by one. A thorn in my side.

The further I venture the more vulnerable I become.
But in my heart the light whispers me. Keeping my core from stone.
For when I am weakest. I am most strong.
