Sitting in the dark
just watching
a beam of light
shoots from the back wall
and lands on the wall
in front of me.

Sitting in the dark
observing
taking in
absorbing
filling a void
a need
for
something
I still cannot explain.

Sitting in the dark
all alone
no popcorn
no soda
no one else in the theater

Alone in the dark
yearning for more
for enlightenment
validation
and dreams.

Funny...
how going to the movies..
is a lot like life...
or
is
it?
Just some thoughts...

It took me a bit to get a grasp on the ending, but I figured out that more than anything for me, it reinforces the theme of the piece. The narrator's in a place where they just don't know.

In a way, this is where I am right now, and I really enjoyed connecting with the piece. Thanks for sharing it.
