Cold as winter, strong as stone <br />She faced the darkness all alone. <br />A silver goddess; a reflection <br />A mirage; a recollection <br />no return; no turning back <br />The past is gone, the future, black <br />Serpents gather in their nest <br />And she stands above the rest <br />Shadows hunt, she huntes the shadow <br />The moon is risen; she stands below <br />She views he world through the eyes of others <br />Black and white there are no colors <br />As she looks down upon a shattered youth <br />A shattered mirror shows a shattered truth <br /> <br /> <br />Atwater Rhodes 10-28-09<br /><br />Autumn Evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/facing-darkness/
