Invitation

Come softly to me in the night. The darkness contains no threat to us when we are knit together with the same fabric of courage. Come to me disguised or naked. The truth will not be concealed indefinitely. Eventually we will learn to live without shame. Make you visitation as serious as a sacred ritual. Promote me to the highest office of your hierarchy. I will assume my duties, I will make you proud you have chosen me. Make me a promise you have no intention to fulfill. Bind me with false claims of authority. Watch me flounder with uncertainty. Withdraw entirely from our intercourse. When we meet again, as we say - accidently, we will embrace, despite our better judgments. We are bound to a moving wheel which winds our fortunes into one certain fate. Come softly to me in the morning. The light illuminates and warms us. We have no cause for fear or hate. Come softly - I am waiting.
