Gliding with soft whispers
Along the walls
I hear their calling
When they reach out
But I pull back
I float through the months
Fearing to touch
What I do not understand
But
Then
I
Choose
To
Embrace
Shadow
And the world opens to me
As I open to it
To the shadow of it
Of me
I see everything
Vividly
And it is more beautiful
Than I imagined.
