That night at home

Creativity got the best of me,

Free to evolve accompanied by

Peace of evening's silence

Inspired a seed of thought,

 

Entwined with Imagination

Taking delight as I lay

With darkness,

Engaging those

Dancing visions,

 

Absorbing each one,

Sowing words

Becoming a journey

Into poetic song

That sings to me, and yet...

 

When I in voice

Ring out those lyrics –

They yearn to shrink back,

For I am just a shadow

Creating alongside half light.

Far from a shadow, Jenny.  This is a lovely evocation of those times when, as you say, we soar with our creations, and then that pesky self doubt creeps in.  A beautiful poem.

.... the poem is evidence that you are more than a shadow, you are a light giving others permission to be lit too :)

Hi Shannon, I love to write, but when it comes to reading what I've written it sounds awful. I do so admire people who can write lyrics and sing them like angels too.

Your words mean a lot and it's very kind of you to let me know your thoughts.

Many thanks.

Jenny.
