One Single Impression: Fleeting

The shadow, as dusk
gives way to night, stealthily
fades from his master.
New moon masked in black
absorbs silent shadows from
dying broken souls.
A bird too young to
know chirps at the newborn sight
of fleeting shadow.

I will think of the second piece with the next new moon. And those shadows...I will think of them as I walk in the dark of early morning. Thanks.

Beautiful, deep and a little haunting.
Well done.

These are so thought-provoking ad haunting as Anthony said.

The second poem really spoke to me. I can picture the masking of the moon by death. What an image.

the night as shadow's master...a very powerful, thought-provoking metaphor.
