Essence of Soft Shadows

Life holds a spectrum of possibilities Live it in the moment and ride it into the sunset Dipping my pen into my soul I give words to my thoughts, allowing the sun to shine upon my writing Not letting images darken my future as a storm of thoughts steal my mind Consuming me with a need to know Wanting only shades of excellence, shining light into all darkness not to be overcome by a fool's journey Remember with every downpour there is a rainbow chasing it's beauty so I wont get caught up in a downward spiral Strength is in love as it brings color to my soul With my heart left open none can take from me A hand up does not bring me down rather it lifts me higher Welcoming others inside my heart, Opening myself to those possibilities And if color is absent i still have The Essence of Soft Shadows 2nd place N/A 10/3/2019 Your Best Poem That is Trophy Worthy (Premiere Contest Trophy) Contest 2 Contest Judged: 10/3/2019 Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin I believe it is trophy worth N/A Contest:wow me Sponsored: Nina Parmenter Date:8/22/19

You have wowed me by this lovely poem, Brenda! Bemoaning our bad fortune does not help; best to leave the darkness of sadness and go out into sunlight where hope awaits. A fav for me. ~Warm regards // paul
