The Assignment

 I climbed

up the ladder

into the small

room.

I stood 

still

until 

it invited me 

in. 

I could close

my eyes

instead

of using 

them

to get 

to where I need

to be.

Because

when you 

get this close

it becomes

a voice.

A consistent 

Whisper.

I leave my

eyes open

because I

have decided

to see everything.

Remember 

everything.

Feel

Everything.

I walk

to the small

window

and open it.

And just

like

that I 

am filled

with all

the answers 

to all

my years

of questions

and 

I understood 

the assignment.
