no light, no fresh air, only daily food that sustained her.
she was locked in.
on lock-down
no crack of light invited her from the door
no way out
what is there to explore in the dark?
on lock-down
her thoughts are frozen
oh to think
to think
of what?
all is dark
all is quiet
there is nothing
to see
to feel
to smell
nothing new
have to get out
there is a door
how will she open it?
she must... think
though it seems forever since she has done this
have to get out
turn the knob
the door is no moredarkness dissipates and her eyes adjust to the new world
the barrier is gone
she sees
she feels
rain sun light color vibrancy texture soft hard green pink blue white red brown airplane car
all is beautiful when you have been in the dark for so long
my writer's block is gone....

this is really good.
I'm glad that you are attempting poetry. Try some more of it.
Also, let me see some of the shadow in you...I know it's in there somewhere!
