Light of Day

Don't get lost at night

Acid moon floating on a haze of mist this night,

creating shadows as fractured light beams escape my dreams.

Shapes move through the night, flashes of reflections in sight,

darting about seen for a moment, but not really there.

Looking left, then right, into the dark of night.

Searching for life, what it has become.

Hidden in the flash of light, within the misty shadows

that distorts the view of life we follow, is a truth,

once you have the light of day to show the way.

I felt like I was in a bit of a storm here... The poetry had a slightly frantic feel in places. Like a panic attack trying to surface, but then the subject finds the will to reason. The lighting flashes and the shapes are clear, even if only for a moment.
A very nice thought about truth and light wraps this poem up nicely.

Well the storm is the fog over my thoughts which for this were meant as frantic. Coming out of the clutter and haze of my dark world to find the light which makes it more clear.

Thank you for kind words and taking time to stop by. The notification don't seem to be up to snuff and I am having to go back and check the reviews on each piece. If not, I would have missed yours from maybe days or months.

I love this, I sense those chthonic beings who haunt the spaces between...between the rays of light, between the motes dancing in the light, between one moment and the next.
I really and truly love this.

Thank you for taking time to read my words and I am very happy that you enjoyed. I appreciate the kind words. And still remember the OC falls, which about now are running fast. :)

The last verse is wonderful, showing the difference of the same path we follow and the differences night and day have on our perception of what we really see. Maybe the old wives tale of seeing things differently in the morning has more substance than we have given it credit for.
Superb Willard, great job.

Many troubles can pass with rest, so when you wake you have a new perspective. Thank you for visiting and commenting.
