Consider Shadows
Consider shadows that most deny
valid against the press of night
consideration turned to charm
by the impact of appeal's turn
even as the darkness forms
wrapping around the gentle souls
without malice or ill intent
as they seek comfort’s bliss
surrounding those without regard
for the ghosts that then result
even as the normative
demand falsehoods in the stead
for the ghosts among themselves
pressing outward with dismay
affirming what’s felt within
hidden plainly while love is blessed.
