Solace is where the cellar door opens up to our minds

You walk down to the door, and with a creak it opens

You are then floating, floating in a starry sky, with a kind voice in your ear, telling you not to be afraid

There is nothing to be afraid of

You open your eyes, and you are in the basement, sitting at the table

New inspiration has been gained for your life

You reached it, solace and the ultimate state of mind

Your life has just begun again

You wink at the door, and leave
