~World of Shadows~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(music enhanced)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the rise and fall of shadows,
from dusk to dawn, time is cast
into a division of hours, where
they eerily dance into the gloaming,
creating bizarre shapes at the fringes
of nightfall.  They Loom surreal,
as an entity, while darkness captures
the imagination with it's
nocturnal creations.
Shadowy figures from animate
and inanimate objects, also lurk
in the vestiges of past existence.
Life that once was, leaves its
marks upon today in the form of,
shadows of what has been.  Time
holds in its grasp, every memory,
every conceivable action or thought,
in a deeply seated subconscious
realm, in the presence of the
here and now.
Shadows of good and evil, love
and hate, exist upon the world,
to bring it to where it is in
this precise moment.
Always
being a visible,
physical aspect of today
and a remnant of yesterday,
that impacts the present
world's place in time,
forever to exist........

    life is certainly made up of shadows...some we live in, some we hide in, and then there are some we do our best to run from...an interesting take on the prompt. Thank you for your entry

    This tells, rather than shows. I am looking for poetry that uses imagery to show rather than tell.
