Shadow

Written Summer 2007 (found this in a random notebook)

The edge is rising

Staring

Like eyes in the darkness

It watches hungrily

Rising quickly

Something is nearby

Unknown and unseen

I think of smoke

Drifting

Dancing seductively with the velvet night

 

The stars that sparkle there

Will wink

And die

Shining for me

For the purpose

 

My stars ignite me in a passion

For the spring of hope

My heart belongs to love

My soul sparkles

My joy is great

I see my way yet again

The impending night has yet to fall

And I am watching

As it tries

I will rise again as well

 

I feel

   my way

I need

   to be

I want

   to give

I love

   the chance

 

The chance alone is worth the leap

The edge is rising

Yet am I

[Everchanging Disaster]

Wow. This was an exhilarating read-your words were dancing across the page and I could barely catch my breath as I struggled to keep pace with them. And I can't explain why but this:
"I feel
my way
I need
to be
I want
to give
I love
the chance
The chance alone is worth the leap"
this was lingering in my soul...long after I had finished reading.
I love you.
