    Shadows

    And you laugh
    afraid of the dark
    But that is where the shadows creep
    and tear apart
    the fabric of reality and dreams.

    The shadows are everything but real
    But
    the shadows can touch
    the shadows can feel

    soft cloths of skin
    wisps of hair
    wetness of tears
    blank expressionless stares

    The fabric of reality and dreams
    are torn apart
    by shadows creeping in the night
    And now you are left afraid of day and dark
    weeping within shadows
    out of sight

    You have a brilliant turn of phrase. I’m guessing you don’t labour over your writing , it hasn’t got the feel of something over thought. I feel you wrote it without effort. I did of course enjoy reading it.

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    I also enjoyed this poem. Well said.
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
