Poem -
Shadow World
Sometimes frightening—but not entirely grim
We learn to just breathe with it
The kind that is mesmerizing
Enriching
All painted by the silvery moon
The kind that conceals phenomena I wish to search
To rediscover
With all my senses heightened
Â
I am not afraid of you, the dark
My hand is faithfully held—and it steadies
The stars furnish light for a new home
Â
Come nearer—envelop me
And bring me into your mystical world
Hide me from the harsh glare
Devour the brightness of sound
And wash over my defects
Cleanse me
Make me this bold—this unapologetic
For you, darkness, show up every night
No matter who won't welcome you

Hi Brittany, hope you are very well. I enjoyed reading this thought provoking write that can be applied metaphorically to many situations, people, places and experiences. It is true that darkness in all it´s forms can heighten the senses, enrich and enhance our life experience, especially in the light of the stars, the moon and light that always follows dark. A wonderful write and looking forward to reading more of your poems, Thank you!
