Challenge
Shadows that live in winter
Prompt from a class I took years ago. Prose or poetry. Tag me!
Winter Echoes
Shadows
Of leaves and flowers -
Can you hear them?
They bring
Echoes,
Melodies
That resonate
In cold
Isolated
Winter months.
*
Shadows
And images
Traipse through
The woods
To reveal
Memories of
Days spent
In the sun
Now just a reflection
In the ice.
*
Shadows
In the haunted,
Crystallized
Walls of home,
Warmed by
Memories of you.
Do you feel them
Occupy
The vacancy
In your heart?
*
Shadows
Of new birth
Seen in the
Sun-kissed snow.
You, along with
The ice,
Melt
To reveal
A new umbra -
Is it really you?
*
Echoes
Of shadows
In winter
Evolve, reflect
A penumbra,
An eclipse
To welcome
Newly born,
Diversity and
Life.
