The Other Side of Calm

Ekphrastic

If I fear the darkness.

If I worry what horrors await within,

or convince myself the world may crumble around me,

should I stand my ground?

Should I retreat?

Will I be sated in the safety of reluctance,

content to never wonder of that which my fear has never seen,

or shall I be forever regretful of what I may have missed

on the other side of calm?

The other side
