Silohouette
~~~
Just a silhouette
Disappeared by shadows
It is in the dark
Just as feared, need you most
~~~
But your angel wings
Cannot fly here, oh so close
When dark discovered
Raptured by an unholy ghost
~~~
Your beauty, by grace
Heavenly heart remains
But yours was never meant
Love for me, earning stains
~~~
You would lift the weight
From shoulders, if you could
These are mine alone
Markers, holders, my un-good
~~~
What if evils set free
Comes at too high a cost
And the light you are
Becomes soon, something lost
~~~
Leave the dark to me
Ne’er abide in the gone
Whatever night I see
You’re my light to the dawn
~~~

“Whatever night I see You’re my light to the dawn” brought me a few more tears than I could just blink away. Knowing my current emotional mire, being reminded that there is light at dawn gave me just a beginning sense of hope at a time when I’ve been feeling that there is none. Thank you for giving me those lines to hold onto!
Night never lasts forever! Stay strong and centered. Love you tons!
sad, but luckily the light returns
Thanks Beth! The light always returns!

Brilliant Brad! A beautiful poem filled with images that seem at times to look back at you as you imagine them there, lurking in the dark…

FBC.
Thank you F! I appreciate all your kind words and support my friend!
Always, and a pleasure!
it’s nice when you don’t drag others down with you, but look for them as the way out of your problem…
From our own darkness, the light of others shines most bright…😁 Thanks Jim!
How true!
Master heart string puller. Gahh, that last stanza! I’m swooning, a bit teary eyed, and once again, captivated by your craft. 😍❤
Been a while since I have plucked at those delicate threads of yours. Glad I struck a chord with you! You are the best!
This is truly beautiful my friend.
“Leave the dark to me
Ne’er abide in the gone
Whatever night I see
You’re my light to the dawn”
