A Sanctuary of Darkness

by dollwithafrown   Aug 15, 2007


Shadows move where light should be;
Echoes of bleakness so dark and deadly.
A miniscule room, going completely unknown,
But to this little girl, it's all her own.

Situated in a forest, darkness roams,
But this benighted area is somebody's home.
Sheltered from danger, or hardships sent her way;
Resting in peacefulness, through night and day.

A wooden cabin with spiders all around,
It's completely subdued and dead of sound.
The image could be haunting, a devastating sight,
Yet for this little girl, it became her shining light.

    Hrmm, I know that I shouldn`t start off by saying awehh to this, but to me it is an awehh poem lol. Every little girl or boy needs their own hideaway - no matter what it looks like to the outside eyes, it is beautiful to them and I am so glad that someone used their talent to capture that time in life...kudos Darling, you`re a wonderful poet.

    Excellent poem. Amazing written. I loved your choice of words and descriptions. The imagery was excellent in this poem as well. And the flow was amazing.

    p.s. You should put this poem in the dark poetry section.
