From darkness into light

“Gotta move”
Splash of cologne
Slamming door   
Diminutive lights
Village green
Meeting beckoned
But what
Was to be seen

From darkness into light

With a step
Ashen sidewalk turned beige
Purple-blue grass dissolved to green
Prominent Confederate remembrances
Defiant stand
Stone veteran of a lost cause
Watched and bled anew
As his rural sentry was overrun
By the urbanization
unstoppable

Ancient facades
Of feed and general stores
Filled with the seamless meld 
Of bars press into Ice Cream parlors

Yet the stone soldier stood
Defiant
Regardless

Continued walk
Light to darkness

Like an grey artery
Off an travelled street
A rudimentary bank clock
Continued shouting time
To a mute and slumbering world

8:55

Initial steps
Vision adjusted
Darkness into light
Heart rapid
Shadow faces
None recognized

All it took was a forward press

Half-light to half-light

Towards the side
Figure sat
Face hidden

Apprehensive Approach
Name nuance

A turn
Twist of flowing hair
Hidden eyes
Seduced
With merely a glance
Placid blue
Belied a tempest beneath
Revealed by a welcoming
Mischievous smile

From darkness into light
