Dull, dark and dangerous is what the world looks like
from above.
The eerie loneliness pervading
our hearts and souls.
Believe me.
For I have experienced this
first
hand.
A wisp,
just a shadow
is what life is
really.
A shadow
being chased
by the darkness
of the clouds.
The same clouds
that darken our
hearts.
A shadow,
hiding from the thunder
not even knowing how beautiful
the rain
can be.
A shadow,
seeking the light
instead of running for the stars
that hold our past, and foresee
our future.
A shadow,
running to the sun,
in search of help,
when no one is there
to support.
A shadow,
oblivious to the wonders of the world
hidden by the darkness that we have to climb through
to reach our goals.
A shadow
in search of light
like a mosquito on a
sweltering summer night.
A shadow,
who’s destiny is the wonders
unknown by us humans,
instead of the known
that we have lived with for as long as I can remember.
Nobody knows
or wonders
what happens to a lost shadow.
They remain forgotten.
Forever.
You’re just
a shadow forever.
Until one day,
the clouds catch up.
Then you disappear,
and remain forgotten
Unless, you run to the stars,
where your shadow might be smaller,
but will last
Forever.

ReplyDeleteAs I said earlier, I love your use of poetic devices. Your imagery is eerie and ominous.
