My mirrored room
reflects shadows
taking little steps back towards the dark.
I turn away softly
lighting candles
with compositions of tomorrow
that whisper smiles;
and I curl within a vision
of sunflowers and sheltered skies
that keep me moving on...

Another good write here. I clicked on the newest poems and found you there. Glad that I did. I think the darkness scares all of us if we are honest. The visions we create are usually what keeps us going. I like the vision of sunflowers and sheltered skies. It's a clean, safe place to be. God bless.
