Do you see?

The spell is cast
The dream woven
The darkness only makes their light more real
Unimaginable beauty casts the shadows aside
Knowing nothing but their purity
Their innocence
I am young again
The dark can no longer touch me
They have changed it
Given it back to me in a way never thought possible
Light and love are now mine to share
The night my time to spread this new hope

    Thank you for your entry

    Yes their light in the darkness, I can see how you have taken this from the picture. I does seem like they are the glowing light of good in a world of darkness and evil. Good expression, flow and structure. Thanks and good luck.

    God Bless

    I love this piece

    this is my favoirte part,
    "Unimaginable beauty casts the shadows aside
    Knowing nothing but their purity
    Their innocence
    I am young again
    The dark can no longer touch me"
    It paints a vivid picture of darkness trying to consume, but not being able to. For some reason this poem puts me somewhere between the movie "legend" and "the last unicorn" I don't know why, maybe the atmospheric feel. I'm glad to see someone thinking outside the box, do you mainly freewrite your poetry? Or by slow, methodical planning?
