Shadow Poet
Shadow poet -sleep does not come easy.
Out of bed - creep across the floor, so
silently as not to wake those dreaming
whose buried dreams from them shall never flow.
To the door, down the hall, find a light’s that low.
Hurry for you know
that thoughts are fleeting like this night
you wish would never go.
Night is all one shadow for the poet.
No one knows the places that you travel -
Only those like you Who unravel
images while sitting in that special place alone.
Pouring out your soul With every hour fleeing.
That’s enough for now. You must get rest.
This you do - creating - is your power,
the talent god has given as your best.
Wind is rattling the windows, chasing off dark shadows.
Rays of sun will soon envelop earth.
Come out to the daylight shining,
and likewise there, let others see your worth.
