THE PURPLE HALLWAY
Walking down
The purple hallway
Out of sight
But in the middle of the day
Hoping that being here
For a little while
Causes a slight smile
As my thoughts take shape
Lighted good enough
But mostly dark at the end
Seeing where I started
But unsure where it ends
So, I just stand in the center
And about halfway down
For it feels cool
As a brisk winter
And here alone
With no one else around
Staying here for a little while
Before going forward bound
Hearing nothing at all
As pure silence has been found
Looking left
And looking right
Both up and down
Taking in the purple lights
With a straight face and no frown
Focusing on my steady heartbeat
And feeling my pulse rate
Weight firmly planted on both feet
Just enjoying the moment without sound
And as of late
Nowhere to go right now
So here I wait
No need to say anything
And not up for a debate
As I entered here
And came through the gate
Alone and wanting it this way
Thinking and feeling ways
That would be hard to convey
So, I’m just here at the moment
With this purple light
Caressing my face
And began to make way
Towards the end of the hall
Very balanced
So not expecting a fall
Moving along nicely
Until I reached the end
But then
I just disappeared
From this place right here
As I took a deep breath
Stood and paused
From being so near
For I’m unsure
What exactly awaits me
At this time of day
As I reached the very end
Of the purple hallway
