Illuminate

They appear like gunshots and lighter flicks
After each of the candles are put out
Innumerable flickering shadows know you
Faces you cannot trust
And those who protect you
Whom you don’t even recognize

There are voices in your head
Trying to keep you weak and scared
So you will not act when the time comes
Not know the strength we all possess
The will and power to fight

Battling, giving all,
Until there is nothing left
To protect those we love more than ourselves

"Not a scratch, not a scar,
Shall come to you
So long as I can stand."

Ryn– I did notice & I love it so much. The textures work so beautifully together – I never would have thought to put them side by side. I have Starry Night on my mouse pad, it was the background on my desktop & hanging in my house lol! I find something so calming with Van Gogh’s technique. I can’t help but stare & leave myself for a moment. I added you to my bookmarks. I do hope that’s alright?
