Where Shadows Roam

Where Shadows Roam

The space next to the window
dancing darkness on display 
shards of life from far away 

In the corner sharing shadows
safe haven or safely hidden 
from the progress of the sun
thoughts creep in unbidden 

Life is slipping slowly
all connections are eroding 
time is coming near
end anxiety and fear

Words worm their way in deep
oublietting me from sleep

Patricia Cresswell Date: 10/28/2017 1:56:00 PM This is my 3rd reading and I am still trying to figure out my reaction. The word oblietting gives me the shivers. It is so severe and makes me think of being tossed away to be forgotten. Login to Reply Sara Ella Date: 10/28/2017 2:22:00 PM Patricia, I think that you have hit on the reference: obliette. It is a dark place. Thank you :)
