YOUR SHADOW IS EMPTY

Posted on April 2, 2013 by redcontroversy

I cannot begin this picture,

Brushes rest beside my easel.

The day began quiet then strayed.

This tempest of past storms,

So intimate and piercing.

I cannot comprehend,

Where lies the treason.

His soul must be dark and pungent,

Aura black and hollow.

Escape from death,

Has charged his greed.

My prayers are for you this evening,

As the day slips into night.

A candle has been lit,

To show you the way.

My heart is spacious with extremity,

I saw the last of hurt and fear.

Your shadow is empty,

I shall not cross it.

“Grief and greed are as inextricably entwined as love and marriage should be”…Ann Kent

Your heart is spacious Estee, LOVE this one! I’ve never imagined an aura being described as black and hollow. Nice to see you back!

Chills on this one Estee. Kind of like avoiding that black cat on the highway ahead. Good plan, wonderful poem.
