Moonlight and the Weight of Empty Shadows

By Fading_Smile

It's funny,

How easy it is for me to follow the blind,
for those who have seen the light linger
on the borders of shadows and darkness, unsteady.

and those who see the world through hollow
eyes know it is nothing but darkness.


and it's ironic,

Finding a colorblind understanding,
a medium between lonliness and bleeding colors,
resolve to shadows and their charred inquisition.


Try to understand,
and ask yourself.

In a black and white existence,
what shade of grey is the lining of your soul?


and retreat,

into the darkest
of white lights.
