Facing My Demon

Posted on December 11, 2012November 9, 2018 by S. Conde

I dreamt of seeking.

Finding myself in New Orleans again.

Searching through a magnificent home on the Esplanade.

One I’d known from before.

Delight upon delight I witnessed.

Joy and happiness, down every passageway, and corridor.

Keep looking, a voice told me.

“The search doesn’t end until you find your demon.”

I felt this to be true.

Darkness, devoid of gloom, fell on me.

Then, there, I found her, in the hall.

All black, face to frock, waiting, patiently.

Hovering phantom, swathed in gauze, floating in her own breeze.

Strangely, neither was I afraid of her, nor she of me.

We faced each other in an awestruck, silent, reverie.
