Legging it through this long tunnel
A glimpse of light I yearn to see
It is claustrophobic dark, damp
The dripping water tortures me
Moving forward slow, step by step
Staring up at the black ceiling
I lose perspective of time, space
Panicked by the fear I’m feeling
Tired and exhausted I stop
I search for that pinprick of light
Should I turn back or carry on
Is the end of this tunnel in sight
Great atmospheric piece! Showing your darker side Julie...?
Thank you for the likes and comments. Glad you picked up on it relating to different situations Brian. I didn't even know the correct term until I googled for a picture. Yes, cutting corners by not putting tow paths through the tunnels was probably not the best idea?
carry on, carry on, 'til the end of the tunnel's in sight
stay strong, stay strong, until you find your light.
Uncertainty creeping in
perhaps half-way
no turning back
just carry on.

Like it. The tunnel could relate to a number of situations, so folk will put their own interpretation on it.
The picture harks back to the days of horse drawn barge. If only they could have taught the horses to do the tunnels!
