“I like the night. Without the dark we ‘d never see the stars.” Stephanie Meyer
Subtle Shades Time carries a vulnerability within itself, especially where night evolves the ground livens in ways unlike the transparency of day, where all is documentary for perception. Especially where night evolves the ground livens, all is mystery, or at the very least, uncertain, where all is documentary for perception of all that is unseen and released imagination. All is mystery or at the very least uncertain, less familiar in the subtle shades of shadow, of all that is unseen and released imagination, the things of darkness are so heartfelt. Less familiar in the subtle shades of shadow, in ways unlike the the transparency of day, the things of darkness are so heartfelt, time carries a vulnerability within itself. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Lovely pantoum Paul – and some memorable soundings – I particularly liked ‘subtle shades of shadow’ – and the word ‘all’ repeated down through the lines – shifting, becoming uncertain. And what a fine last line – bringing together all that’s gone before and completing the journey from outer to inner world. So good.
