Favorite Quote:
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”<br /> ― Arthur C. Clarke


Awake at night, the door watches

me lay. I wonder: should I open it?

Or shall I leave my vulnerability still?

Though I think: if I were to shut the hinges 

what shadows may lay in the dark are now

trapped just as I. 

My vulnerability safe in neither direction

is sleep truly the most peaceful?

Should one keep their door closed? Or shall they leave it open? Risky, risky decisions…
