Shadow in the Etherglow

Whenever life begins to tear somebody down, it's up to that person's loved ones to help him/her to maintain a sense of love and hope

Inspired by recent happenings in my life.

Shadow in the Etherglow

Like a ballerina partaking in bittersweet ballets,

You're lissome and lyrical,

But can't see the true finesse of your flow.

You should celebrate, for your angelic elan is innate.

Instead, you let malice maul

The self-reverence which helps you to grow.

When the precious and playful have become woeful and wistful,

We must show them the love they no longer know.

If you can't hear Wisdom whistling to you from infinity

Over the deafening gales

That flay your mind until you're feeling frail,

Just know that there's only humanity in humility.

Don't be afraid to unveil

The tenderness you hide within yourself.

When the precious and playful have become woeful and wistful,

We must show them the love they no longer know.

At times we're vulnerable, but never less remarkable.

Everyone's a Shadow in the Etherglow.

A mellifluous mentality can lead to an eternity

Brimming with breathtaking language and iconography,

But oftentimes, it's buried beneath the conscience's cold complexity,

Slowly suffocating under the weight of apathy,

So

When the precious and playful have become woeful and wistful

We must show them the love they no longer know.

At times we're vulnerable, but never less remarkable.

Everyone's a Shadow in the Etherglow,

Shivering in the Spacetime snows,

Waiting for someone to kindle their souls with hope.

Lissome - thin, supple, graceful

Elan - energy, style, enthusiasm

Wistful - having a feeling of vague or regretful longing

Mellifluous - sweet or musical; pleasing to the ears.

Author's Note

The inspiration for this piece really just came out of nowhere, and I was somehow able to write this piece in one sitting, in between college classes, in just three hours. I was really aiming for something more positive, powerful and poetic than usual this time around. How do ya'll think I did?

On a different note, I promise I'll try to get back to reviewing things a bit more frequently soon. I'm still in the midst of finals time at college, and don't have much time to devote to reviewing stuff. In a few more weeks, that should change, though! Until next time. :)

Beautifully put and wonderful that you have such a caring spirit for others- so true when others are lost we need to help them find their way back again to ensure them there is hope in the other side of darkness- wonderful words🌹

This world really is quite unforgiving at times, and as much as I am a believer in the "Don't just stand there and take it mindset, I think that sometimes that isn't easily done for people. That's when they need at least a crying shoulder, some form of support to help them back to their feet. Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts! :)
