Premium Member Shadow Boxing
Death accepts us all
        Life’s the discriminator
        Move towards the light

Skeletal Wasteland
Human wreckage
Skeletal wasteland
Void of emotions
Echoes... vague-
Shadow boxing
In darkness
With ghosts....

That Sweet Science
Shadow boxing and
Knocked out
From a stiff left jab and
Then, from a strong right hand
Oh, what a sweet science...

Flames flicker

Shadow boxing

Wren
A Carolina Wren
bobs and weaves
inside a ring of sunlight.

It is shadow boxing,
but there are no shadows

yet it still jabs and moves.

A boxer
fights the shadow of himself....

Hesitant Heroics
There’s a bend on the end of the rainbow
Reflecting refractions of light
Promises written on water
Holiday nights of delight
Words shadow boxing on speakers
Rebounding resounding in rhyme
Spider webs sailing on sunsets
Floating on shadows of time
Alone on the edge of tomorrow
Hands holding tight to today
Sunlight as stardust exploding
In passion to just get away
Measured in decades of moments
Fear is reluctant to pay...

Premium Member Quietness In the Shadows
There’s a quietness in the shadows.
A lonely place where sadness grows.
A place in time where my mind goes.
Thoughts and memories are my foes.

But I have learned to not resist,
for when I do, they just persist.
I used to fight; I’d clinch my fist.
Shadow boxing, I always missed.

Meditating on dark and light,
it came to me I shouldn’t fight.
Brightest light or dark as the night,
their contrast gives us better sight.

The reason for simplicity,
to deal with life’s complexity....

Premium Member A Quiet Place In the Shadows
A quiet place in the shadows,
a lonely place where sadness grows.
A place in time where my mind goes,
thoughts and memories are my foes.

But I have learned to not resist,
for when I do, they just persist.
I used to fight; I’d clinch my fist.
Shadow boxing, I always missed.

Meditating on dark and light,
it came to me I shouldn’t fight.
Brightest light or dark as the night,
their contrast gives us better sight.

There’s a necessity for simplicity,
to deal with life’s complexity....
