encoded notions

Darkness scatters to bring forth light.
I drink the world once bathed in night.
To stand up and breathe crisp, clean air,
Rids me of my slightest despair.
The carpet flows
Between my toes.
I plod along, weaving, winding a path.
I touch the rail: worn smooth by time’s harsh wrath.
Down curving stairs, I gracefully descend,
Gliding as if gravity’s law doth bend.
Like an ephemeral shadow passing through space,
To all, I avoid revealing my truest face,
Save for the one with a moniker unknown
And with whom I shall ne’er again feel alone.
But until such a time when this answer is found
To my solitary shroud, I shall remain bound.
And given what’s happened in this life that I’ve spent,
While I wait, I’ll stay calm and be merely content.
