aurora glide
Gently, she goes
as soft as a fawn
opens the window
and waits for the dawn
fireflies glow
wind caresses her face
as she sheds all the shadows
not leaving a trace
She dons velvet darkness
wrapped in its cloak
releases all poisons,
sylphlike,
in smoke
She is preparing for battle
Read the rest of the poem Show less
in her own, quiet way
She only wants wholeness
as she breaks through the gray
For soon she will weave
prismatic wonders of spells
her own inner aurora
lighting heaven from hell
For suffered she has
and it's time to forgive
unlock self-made prisons
and let herself live
and now as sunrise approaches
stars still in sight
she turns the skeleton key
and glides
into
flight

"Sunlight and Shadow " by @Jasmine.
"Hello, Jasmine. I actually found this to be achingly beautiful, for its honesty. It is delicate in language yet full of raw emotion, and the last lines hit it home. It truly moved me. Thank you." -

"quite charming...but the meter seems a little too "cute" for the subject, even though it reads smooth as silk (which is no mean feat in itself) It has a jaunty bounce, imbuing the optimism of the piece, yet belies the s…" -

"nice rhymes and rhythm to this poem. the nature imagery goes well with the magical imagery (especially the likening spells to the aurora) and I'm drawn into the emotional life of the protagonist. is this about someone w…" -

"I like it, sparkling with imagery and presented with leading punctuation indicating just how you want it read, very refreshing to see. This should have artwork to accompany, just a thought I had while warming to the end…" -

" And You Touch Back " by @Eumolpus
"I saw this as describing the way poets touch one another, from all different places, without ever having met. I felt it was saying that we are reflections of connection: our words echoing each other's feelings, reverber…" -

on raw cherry monsoon from @Eumolpus
