Julie Cottingham Poet Rhyme

From Light To Night

Velvet touch or satin silk, maybe satin smooth

Silver bears a hint of glow, the dark side of the moon

Captured, caught or taken

Resolved to quit, or fold

Whichever words we chose to take

Irregardless were taken hold

Defy, defend, defiant

Submitting, surreal, succumb

Have you ever noticed how it just does not matter

If you're to be darkened then darkness already has won

Sinking, falling, lost

Arising, returning, known

From light to night, to knowledge

I thought I knew more of me than you'd ever know

Captured, held and blinded

To release, caress and sight

To truly understand living

Don't be frightened to let go of life.
