The night Darkness, Embracing Too tightly, Squeezed by The chilling hands of fear Chilling. Rage gnawed through, Burning within, Casting heavy shadows, Restless, Menacing, As if Tossed carelessly, Rough dark waves Of emotion, Prevailing helplessness- Blanketed by sleep. Daybreak Smiled tenderly Upon the waking child, Reassuring, Comforting, She whispered Silent words; Your shadow is A part of you, You're lost self, Raging to be seen, If I take it away, I'll leave you forever Searching in vain. You're shadow Holds within The secrets of your soul, Each one Preciously wrapped- Each one Unlocking doors, Each one, Leading you, Guiding Towards Lightness andpeace, The parts of yourself You grieve so hardfor. The child listened, the child Words deeply Moving, Calmed by the truth, Trusting in their wisdom. Daybreak asked Lighting up A question Her shadows, "For you to embrace the fear of all the dark within, What would you need?" Her hope to be reality, The child held closely In the arms of daybreak, Let herselffeel the warmth Her mind drifted off- Into spaces in search of her answer. A flash of magic! There sat a dragon beside her. Startled, She began to look harder The child struck by his bright colours and aliveness. Shy at first, Held him in awe. Then realising This to be her answer, The keeper of herfire within, she began tofeel The beginnings of a smile, Creeping gently up to touch her face, It rippled down tickling inside. Bubblesflzzing Till there escaped a giggle. Casting her brightness towards daybreak There was a silent understanding, She in turn Placed a tender smile upon Before fading onwards, but always to be near The dragon to held forever Calming her fear, Her warmth to he warmer, Her light to be brighter, To stand in her own beacon of light. |
