A Dark Descent
  The cavern covers its floors with darkness
  like mist shrouding the road ahead.
  People will always take a step into the mist
  rather than take a leap of faith into darkness.
  This road ends hear
  at the gaping mouth of the cavern.
  The road behind me will take me back home
  While the cavern does not promise a safe landing.
  All that is left is three steps
  No one knows what lies at the bottom.
  No one has dared to take a leap of faith.
  The closer I get makes it look alive
  All that is left is two steps
  and I will know what lies at the bottom.
  but I will lose everything I know now.
  and leave everyone behind
  All that is left is one final step
  and I will see what’s behind the darkness
  All that is left is the descent
  and I will no longer see the light
