I Will Follow

Where you lead I will follow.
Anywhere you want.
Except,
the darkest caverns
where spiders dwell in
webs thick with dark moisture.
Where eyes stare out of the darkness
into my soul.
Except,
into the forest, dense with
underbrush.
Where snakes wait to wrap themselves
around my ankles and drown me
in quicksand.
I'll follow where you lead.
Except,
into the hot barren desert
where sand burns a pattern
into my searing feet.
Where the sun beats inscessantly
scortching my brain, my skin, my life.
Where you lead, I will follow.
Anywhere you want.
Except...........
Hey, wait!!
