Shadow World

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

 

I am not afraid of you, the dark

My hand is faithfully held—and it steadies

The stars furnish light for a new home

 

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!
