| By brian francis When the stars advance to take the sky Pushing mightily the sun into the ground Shadows come alive and rise in the night To haunt those weary in body and mind To challenge the sanity of thoughtfulness Realized between the sounds and illusions Of perception’s innuendo implied The blaze of clouds falls into the purple hues Shimmering reflections, frights awakening Whispering into thoughts; unrealized they worry Like shadows unseen in the darkness Dancing joyfully, worshiping Nyx or Apep Shrouding the world in their embrace Of darkness hiding; the shadow opposing light.
