Why do you sail the shadows
Letting the canvas billow only at night,
What terror do you hide from?

When seen will the terror come
Turning flesh to cinder in the blinding light,
Why is it so relentless?

Who waits outside the darkness,
Ready to shine reality causing the fright
Binding you tight within shadows

Gloom

Your words reminded me of a scene from the movie "Pirates of the Carribean", one of my favourite movies.  Great imagery in this piece of writing.

Take care.......Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Interesting, Gloom, but sometimes, there are reasons for sailing at night!  Maybe, a schedule conflict!  No, seriously, I enjoyed the writing as always.

perhaps sailed in the day and shadows hidden
when sun brightest overhead; I miss reading your posts lately.  Excellent, as always
