Stepped In, Stepped Out

Miriam waits at home Harry’s running errands One last stop He Stepped in, Then he stepped out Harry with the load Stepped up to the house Door’s open so he followed Found himself alone he stepped out Of reality He stepped in He stepped out Didn't know where to begin So he looked about Buzzing above Walls of yellow He couldn't believe What was happening He couldn't conceive Endless halls turning Saw a doorway Stepped in Then Stepped out A hallway surrounded him Gray walls a metal floor Hollow sounds dim Light ahead an island shore He stepped up to Step out From behind came the sounds of wind and rain a thunderous wail he knew to set sail He ran on to run out The island he sought he found was a sham beneath his feet was naught but air and light, Damn Doorways drifting by One ahead aligned He flew in then stepped out Smooth as a buttered plate How could he relate Couldn’t believe his eyes What fresh hell is this Ember red skies Crooked wooden carpet Oh man Harry more than ever alone No walls he could see Why this hell for what to atone With Miriam he wanted to be She was alone without him He was alone without her So he stepped up to step out Ember sky lit his path Humming a tune full of doubt On his side a figure of wrath Yellow cloaked shrouded face Harry ran on to run out He stepped up his pace He knew it was a race That thing wasn't nice Windows rising from the floor A view he knew just a door The thing wailed A signal from behind He thought he failed couldn't look back The sight ahead his city Miriam his home He stepped through He came home All alone he fought Miriam never far Not from his thoughts This expanse no bar Alone no more He stepped out to come home Miriam waits at home Harry’s running errands One last stop He Stepped in, Then he stepped out Harry marched to home Miriam surprised to see Two weeks had he Stepped out A loving embrace He Stepped in
