Shadows
Whispers of champaign -
pain is a sham.
Light is born in the background,
surfacing like ideas -
for masterpieces.
Scintillating stars
holding hands
in the mind
like the last day on Earth.
Let me dream once more
in the remembrance
of your face -
Held in the hollow
of my soul.
I have upheld myself -
against so many dawns,
falling in feathers -
into ink black velvet,
yearning for purity -
thus, I have become purely
Shadows.

Dear CO,
“ I have upheld myself -
against so many dawns,” words that jumped off the page and grabbed me like a vice. Out of context I related to this because there were so many dawns I took advantage of in sadness. Your touching poem is so filled with celestial imagery it’s difficult not to float away on sunrises and sunsets experienced along with the memories attached to each.
Wonderful piece. H🌷
