Shadows

creep
into your
warm safe
corners.
hints of torment
find room to nest.

what was so clear
is now shrouded
with fear-
of what may come,
or is it,
of what could be?
or perhaps,
of what
was always there.

it doesn’t matter.

Choose.
Now.
Wisely,
Poorly,
Just Choose.

it matters not.

Just play the game.

you cannot lose
if you play free.
you cannot lose
if you play with a smile
inside.
you cannot lose
-Period and Full Stop.

so come,
Come and play
with me.
