POETIC SKETCHES

STANDING BETWEEN SHADOWS

Standing between shadows.
Captivated by the  light
While being romanced by the night.
Embraces in the dark
At the edge of a twilight lit park.
The echoes of the Owl's hoots counters the evolved Wolf's barks.

Moon light peeks between the darkest clouds
As thunder drums a beat
Created by the kinetic thermal heat.
Light explodes in syncopated rhythms
As Nature adds the vocal hymns;
The cicadean rhymes
Of a life time.

A hawk vies for peace.
A dove departs to the east.
Whispering secrets that are serenaded silent and loud
Up amongst the star cloaked by the clouds.

Starlight smiles in remembrance of the rainbow's grins.
Silhouetted in multi hued colours that the twilight brings.

Standing between the shadows
With nothing but a smile
That lingered for awhile
And an isolated memory of a lonely child.

Mysteries abound in the transcendent state
Between the shadows.
Answers awaits as the shadow
Contours my sun kissed face.
A portrait sketched in black and white.
A caress between the day and the night.

Into a well of Sadness I dipped my quill
Then paused silently still
To add the depth in blues.
Threads by Lines of various hues.
Shadows in red
Where the colours had bled.
Yellow washed background
Highlights the sounds around.

Standing between shadows,
Sketches in black and white
As the statue stands alone
And observes the fight
Betwixt day and night.
