Haunted
This week’s Mixed Bag is a little darker than usual. If you are already feeling a little (or a lot) down you may want to shelve this one, at least for a little bit. -Holly
Black hollow
still dark
Door as border
sliver of light
dark inches back
light floods the crack
escape, hide
escape, hide
hide
hide
hide
unlocked, cracked open
light thin, as hope
entrance to heaven
invitation for hell—
the other side
light hurts the eyes
sunshine can chase demons
elusive, as light
No more
shifting borders
No more
stolen light
finality…finally…
secure,
behind bars
How many times
light gone
heart broken,
hope haunted
Hope stings the forgotten
Finality
gifter of uncomplicated grief
grief alone
uninterrupted
hope lifted
grief rested
grief shed
the burden of hope
