A splash of darkness

She paints with shadows

By Jenny PaganPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

A lonely angel, her halo aflame

With a spectrum unlike earthly pigment

Lines and shapes adorn her, forget her name

Your world of colors and hue, is a figment

She sees only shadows, full of wonder

Grace, and respite, it’s calling out to her,

Drawing her closer, pulling her under

Torment, elation, are the same to her

A mighty pen in hand she fights the fight

Blinding beauty shines, breaking her threshold

Painting rainbows, drenched all in black and white

The spark of imagination takes hold

A devil clad in blinding light, she seeks

To see the darkness, she wants just a peek
