Paula Swanson Poet Rhyme

Shadows Beckon

Curious, how the shadows beckon
and call to those in need,
of a dark place to hide their sins,
or plant an evil seed.

For to trust such transient wisps,
of contrast between right and dark,
is a gamble one does take,
for the light can be oh so stark.

Cyndi Macmillan June 11, 2011 at 1:20 AM OUCH! Good one, this. When they're this well done, and this short, I'm left feeling there should be more-but it's fine as is :-) Enjoyed this read, Cyndi
