Glow

Neville

Glow

 

she had a strange light

all about her,

which she wore like a

pair of drawn

curtains, to let all her

shadows

   breathe easy, she said ..

and while

those she did cast both

fore and aft,

appeared golden, not

one of her

  disciples then glowed ..

but in that

moment she stumbled

  and fell, each

one of those disciples

  could tell she

was far from perfect

and her robe

was but sackcloth, hastily

  throwed ..

    That glow will always be with her and in your mind though Neville.

        There's something fishy going on between you and your imagination Steven .. Neville

        That sackcloth sears quite deeply in the mind.

          That glow and the drawn curtains makes me think of a working gal. A lady of the night, maybe. Sackcloth though? Would have thought she might have worn something a little softer to the touch. It seems she was troubled by all her shadows. I can understand that. Bills have to be paid. Children have to be fed. What an intriguing write. My imagination seems to have gone awol with this write Neville. Glow though, has a certain warmth to it. Captivating writing for sure from your prolific and varied pen.

                Maybe Orchi should meet this lady of the night? 🤔 Then again, maybe not.

                  I think perhaps not .. in fact I'm certain of it ..

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Quite possibly fun while it lasted... I hope the 'disciples' weren't too bitter....

                  • Neville



                    most of the one's I've tasted were sweet .. not like honey sweet but ..

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Crossed wires here I feel, but this is the way language expands to encompass new realities....etc....

                    • Neville



                      .. maybe
