Come Join Me

outside

under a sea of stars,

the moon just a sliver

in the inky night sky.

Away from the comfort

of your cozy room,

your old wooden desk,

familiar routine,

into the damp grass,

the muddy soil,

beneath the big oak tree.

Will you dare

to wander away

from where you are,

to step

quietly

into the unknown?

To put one foot

in the door

of another place,

another possibility,

and not be afraid?
