Dark shadows once quiet
whisper
come with me
Tempting me
with safe corners
in darkened rooms
Shadows playing on the wind
then falling
deep into silence
tempting me to follow
I learned long ago
to listen to the shadows
to feel the yin
to acknowledge the damp, deep cold
I’ll settle in
with the softest of down
and multi-layers of love
until the whispering dark shadows
are quiet once again
