The Resurrection Of Shadows

Shadows in a grassy field
Ivor Steven / Coffee House Writers

You! It’s time to take cover
Beware! Shadows have changed colour
And are reaching across the ground
Crying to the world, “It’s time to turn around”

Shadows have learned to crawl and walk
In the daylight they brawl and talk
Shadows are tired of being ignored
And eager to leap off the billboards
Shadows will arise and fight the evil warlords
And liberate the embattled horde

    Thank you, Ivor. I enjoyed your poem. Yes, shadows can haunt me, if I let them, or I can choose to let them help me be a better, more loving person. It’s a lovely poem. Applause to you.
