Shadow Souls


 


They stand in the shadows


waiting to melt


from the heat


They can’t stand the light


so their lives are incomplete


their poverty born in the streets


 


The lonely ones


are awash in blood


hiding in the dark


They melt into midnight


to forget their sorrow


they can’t escape the light


 


They stand in the shadows

I was touched by the profundity in this poem. Loneliness is a dark shadow. And the light does appear, but sometimes, darkness offers a delusion of comfort. I enjoyed reading this poem. Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight.
