A prism of shadows trails
behind me, as foreboding
as a moonlit silhouette
sanding off the sharp edges
of evening - sleep eludes me
vestiges of fever dreams
with persistent monsters  slink
around windmills of my mind
A streak of dawn sun at last
appears to lighten the sky
creating  a world without
the intrusion of crazed dreams

I go search for solitude
to slake my own loneliness.

Dear Josefina, powerful and impressive words here from you, the night seems to never end when there are those "fever dreams" ...

To further slake your loneliness at this time, go to the Forum "Spiritual Journeys" and read again your wonderful poem "God's Quiet", which JamesMichael brought back to the top. You will remember and immerse in serenity.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

So well done is this poem of shadows and monsters which beckon us with nighttime thoughts and fears.

Hi Margherita, I did go to Spiritual Journey and I have my comment there also. Yes, it's time to be reminded again of what I felt when I wrote that.. Thanks
