the mourning starts
slightly, out of bloom
closed up tight
removed by the room

but searching hearts
shine their light on me
wrong or right
shadows help me see

facing today
with smiles and cheer
marks the way
out of blinding fear

the morning starts
with their light on me

"In life's giving ... love is a gift, such worth living."

I can understand this

We all face these emotions at times and how we handle them defines us

Yes - good words

shadows have their versatility in way, don't they...
don't be a shadow here, hope you stop by soon again

...walk toward the light...she grinned.
A good read, and something that we all share from time to time I think. I certainly find the smiles here uplifting.
You did this well.

Very beautiful write ...

in the play of light and shadow we capture truth.

Smiles and Cheer!

Love, Margherita
