I hesitantly walked through the portal

As it's light grew, encompassing me

Not knowing what lay ahead.

I was blinded and could not see.

 

Scanning for a planet

A warming star, a cooling night

I soared through the heavens

Searching for the finite.

 

My palms sweaty, my mind racing

I walked trying to reach the end

moving 500 miles a minute

This I did not intend.

 

Those minutes were precious

The portal started to fade

To where was I heading?

Would I be dismayed?

 

I was the vortex of time

The portal was sealed

At the core of the rift

I was the infinite shield.

 

Where would I be this day

If I had not followed through

The lore of the portal

Not knowing whether to pursue.
