Notes About The Poem

Darkness

Darkness

Hidden shadows

Keeping all their secrets

Out of reach from my prying eyes

If only for a moment I could see

Revealing mysteries that hide

I might learn of myself

Alone in the

Darkness

"I might learn of myself Alone in the darkness" The title it's self caught my attention because it's my area of ideas but the finish line is another flag that few will understand. Loving it. Thanks for your mind. Poems @Imirishyoart.blogspot.com visit.

Quite profound, definitely food for thought and a feeling that's hard to shake, in short - very well done. All the best ... CayCay
