Darkside of the Sun

By PoeticKnight

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I heard a changeling call my name.In a changing world, she’s still the same.But does she fear her doubt or doubt her fear?Or is she even really here?She used to dance through heaven’s seamsBefore she fell and broke her wings.She fought her shadow, but her shadow won;Now she’s dancing on the darkside of the sun.Her old life is just a memory.She doesn’t fear what was ‘cause it was meant to be,But how can she tell reason from rhymeWhen her paradise is flawed by design?She found her answer but forgot the riddle.Became a silent note on the devil’s fiddle.Now her hopes are dead and her dreams are done;She’s hiding on the darkside of the sun.
