An Enticed Mouse

Poetry - But Can I Trust You?

Paws shaky, I take hold of your hand Your calming presence, Reassuring my insecure heart

Your steadfast support, Successfully drawing me out Of my cavern of safety Where the darkness Can shroud me.

I know it’s risky To let you lure me.

Yet, There’s a part of me, That wants to know What would come to be If I let you grab hold of me

Will it be a worthy story? Or is it simply a trap With which you try to catch me?

My heart yearns to know, My mind longs to see. What will it be? What future do you have for me?

Light floods around me As you deliver me Into a new realm of possibilities.

This poem was inspired by a writing prompt from the “Storyteller’s Vault” Publication.
