Shadows Seek My Eden

Shadows Seek My Eden

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

I know of something acquainted with the nearest shadows...........

"

























I know of something acquainted
with the nearest shadows
seeking to stand in my Eden.
Seen as flames
my footsteps have gone from this world
I no longer taste their freedom.

The cold hard ground checks my validation,
keeps me here every day.
Beautiful places like that of my Eden
make passion felt even more,
losing the mask of my face,
slip sliding away.

All the beautiful seals are removed from my bells.
However, I still hear them ring.
My feet once danced as unbound flames
in my lovely Eden.
Until shadows sprang from pages
and began to sing.

Moments are erased revealing thoughts,
opening the heart
when the earth hangs on a day’s silence.
Questions rise then crumble
into the nearest shadow’s hands that fight
my splendid Eden’s wildness.

Magical. I love the shadows "seeking to stand in my Eden".
Also, I must say you have a very good ending. It really ties it all together.
This is just purely read like a fairy tale. Wonderfully written!!

Eden... just the word is a song to paradise... You sing that sweet sensuality over the ages... out of the blank pages of day.. and you share glimpses of an enchantment few will ever know.

I love this piece Neva, especially the first stanza---it is powerful and vulnerable at the same time. Just lovely!

Another beautiful piece Ms. Flores. Finding our own Eden is everyone's dream. too bad "our Eden's" occupy such a small piece of our lives for a 1000 complicated reasons. Someday I hope!
