This reminds me of the way that curling up really tight in a blanket feels. Like a cozy cocoon. #ActuallyAutistic
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
Thank you for reading my books: If I Could Tell You How It Feels, and Untangled, A Story of Resilience, Courage, and Triumph
