Shadows of Solace

Darkness lurking, whispers creep,

A shadow wandering, secrets to keep.

Into the night, where fears reside,

She fights the silence, nowhere to hide.

Her silhouette struggling, a ghost in the light,

Moonbeams flicker, piercing the night.

In the middle of chaos, there she lies,

A captive of shadows, with tear-filled eyes.

The shadow descends, softly it calls,

Whispers of comfort, echoing walls.

Approaching her gently, as if to explain,

Reaching for solace, yet feeling the pain.

Ghostly pale face, half awake,

In the tender dark, she's learning to shake.

Light tracing shadows, her heart starts to race,

In this strange dance, there’s warmth in the space.

Tears streaming down, like rain on the ground,

The shadow draws near, a love that is found.

It wipes her tears, in quiet embrace,

A feeling of peace, in this haunting place.

The look of fear, evident still,

But the shadow holds her, a comfort to fill.

Painful images, they come and they go,

Yet in the dark, she learns how to grow.

Consoled by the past, she leans to be free,

Finding her strength, just her and the sea.

A battle of light against shadows of woe,

In the midnight hour, her true self will show.

Ghostly pale face, half awake,

In the tender dark, she's learning to shake.

Light tracing shadows, her heart starts to race,

In this strange dance, there’s warmth in the space.

And there, lying in the dark so deep,

A shadow comforting, in silence, they seep.

Brief and precise, in time of need,

In the arms of the night, she’s finally freed.
