The dark is so cozy
Hides me from prying eyes
I am in my own world
While the world speeds by
No don’t bother about me
I’m probably not worth your time
Then she says in a whisper
Come, come with me
Don’t know why, I do get up
Her voice has inspired me
With knots in my stomach,
I gingerly open the door
I shield my eyes
From the blinding light
Put a foot forward
Take another step
Then another
And yet another
And I break into a run
And spread my arms
Oh yes I have done it!
At last, I am free!
A hand clutches my right hand
Another, my left hand
And we walk together
All of us singing along
The song of freedom
The song of gay abandon
Our feet move in tandem
Leaving the darkness behind
So, Let’s Walk Together
For each other…into the sun.
