Silent Spirit

She was invisible.

Keeping watch from those dark corners,

keeping silent in a crowd.

No one can see her;

invisibility is her element.

Blending the one being

so she can't be seen.

 

The silent spirit closes her eyes

and feels the pounding emptiness

through her transparent body.

She sighs;

it is too soft to be heard.

This world of noise

keeps her at bay.

She doesn't know what to say,

what words to say,

or how to begin.

Is it always this hard

to become something?

 

She keeps quiet,

a silent spirit in a world of noise.

She has so much to say,

but her mind is blank.

Something more is wanted here;

something to break her silence.

Can it be?

A ray of color dawns

on her dark, secluded corner.

What is this?

Bright eyes smile down

into hers for the first time ever.

She smiles,

allowing light to fill her.

 

A new age of light

blesses her and lets

her become the something

she has always wanted.

The vow of silence made

in that corner long ago has

now been broken.

New life has found the spirit.

She is a ghost no longer,

but something more.

 

A person.

Author's Note

Darkness isn't always bad. Sometimes darkness can merely be troubles that continually haunt you. No matter what your darkness is, my readers, there is always hope. Always.
