on the other side

look beyond
the now
where you stand,
and you will see
only night,

the past is a day gone,
the now is a light
burning fast
and melting,
into the dark

where you make love,
where faith is born,
seducing you
to walk into a mystery
that only grows,

something you can
feel and smell
in the sweat
and breath
in every pore,

a faith -
where you can stand
in the blind,
happy to lose the key
to everything being fine,

not knowing
what doors will open,
to lead you
into the darkness
on the other side.
