The Hall of Memory

Created as inspiration for a personal movement scale. It represents the duality of mankind.

Hall of Memory

A dichotomy of choices,

One long corridor with

Many doors, all holding

Various possibilities.

Some are light,

Their sereness threatens

To seduce me

With quiet, lulling dreams.

Others are dark,

Nightmarish in the extreme.

Hellish doors I dare not

Open.

Here I stand

In this Hallowed Place,

Darkness and Light
Fight hard to dominate.

Light or Dark?

Each olds its

Own unique

Pleasures and Pains.

Heaven or Hell?

Fulfillment or longing?

Nightmares or dreams?

Which will it be?

Here, I stand

On a steep precipice

Facing peace from angels

Or destruction by demons.

Where do I go?

Left or Right?

Do I choose

Dark or light?

I walk an uncertain

Pathway, footsteps echo

Loudly down this

Sacred Hall of Memory.

Left or Right?

Darkness or Light?

Which door do I open?

What do I seek?

Do I seek at all or

Is the answer more complex?

Do I choose Light or Dark

Or, does IT choose me?
