Out of the Woods

A pulsing revolving door

People coming and going

Connections in every brief meeting.



Stepping outside and looking in

Or looking away

If one so chooses.



The lights are real,

Not flashy or commercialized

Burning warm and true.



This subterranean community

Thriving despite the norm

Open to all who seek it.



Greeting each new day with music

With a circle

A heartfelt smile.



Eventually you must take off the sunglasses

Come back to a harsh reality

Out of the woods.



But keep tending to the flame

Live it day to day

Keep the love alive.
