should I take the plunge
or stay in the shadows?
should I let my curiosity run wild
or let my shyness prevail?
or stay in the shadows?
should I let my curiosity run wild
or let my shyness prevail?
I reach towards the stars
wondering if they will melt
from my touch or seep into
my skin, bringing me to life

I love the ponderings in this. So many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI tend to plunge INTO the shadows every chance I get.
ReplyDeleteNice quad, M!
Questions..questions.... I suggest that you take a plunge, smiles.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I think the shy can relate to this. I really like the last four lines. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written. I myself can be quite shy, so I can resonate with this too well. Take the plunge, bathe into the stars. With their light and power, it is both mystifying and freeing. I love the theme here, the plunge into extreme and tame, the questioning above all. An amazing piece.
ReplyDeletelove melting vs seeping of the stars. Beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed where the questions in the opening stanza took me, Maria, running wild in the shadows! The imagery in the second stanza is beautiful – stars melting and seeping into skin would certainly bring me to life.
ReplyDeleteI think you should definitely reach for the stars :-)
ReplyDeleteAlways, always take the plunge, the leap, the tumble, the fantasy. It keeps us young.
ReplyDeleteThis flows so well with its gentle pondering. Always envision the best before reaching for the stars!
ReplyDeleteI was more shy when I was younger, and only wish I would have taken the plunge a little earlier.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the ending on this, Arcadia!
