Uninvited Solitude

Uninvited Solitude Trying to embrace a shadow With fleeting fragments of reality Tattered remnants of remembering Float in swirling enchantment of mirages. Daydreams drum in midnight shades With illusions etched upon the soul Wraiths of innocence overwhelming Dewdrops of grief descending. Arms remember holding magic – Gathering wind spells – chasing stardust – Whispers tiptoe past fading rainbows Cold quiet stills the laughter. Fantasies dance with déjà vu Just beyond the specter of dawn Leave their footprints of impressions – Overwhelming the shadows. Fireworks of flashbacks flame then disappear Figments tripping over apparitions Pushing back on spilled chimera - Uninvited solitude. Arms remember holding magic – Gathering wind spells – chasing stardust – Whispers tiptoe past fading rainbows Cold quiet stills the laughter. 8-25-20
