Cast a Dark Shadow

Light...pierces opaque eyes
Light...plumes lavender skies
Light...enlightens the wise
Light...is life on the rise


Dark dreams...dwell on the past
Dark deeds...will everlast
Dark days...are coming fast
Dark shadows...ever cast

Dear Randy, what an exceptionally deep and evocative poem this is, the way you've shown the contrast between the light and the dark, that lives within all of us! The positivity and negativity, the coexistence between them ~ love your artistic phraseology and also the creative use of alliteration! "Dark dreams...dwell on the past" and "Light...is life on the rise" Love those! Brilliantly you've woven this! keep writinnn n shininnn, pleasure reading your work today 🍂💫

Dear Hiya, thank you again for responding to another one of my poems. I kinda feel like a little kid at Christmas, I'm still unwrapping my presents.
