in the darkness
something stirs
so long was it hidden
but now it emerges
into the open
beauty so radiant
its heart longing to dance
but not daring
head bowed
not looking at those who watch
the angel within
sloly emerges
tasting freedom
giving in to temptation
dancing in the moonlight
as the first rays
of sunlight
began to appear
it slowly burries itself
once again
back inside its shell
untill the next time
the moon shines high

The imagery of this poem shines through
dances and comes alive, only to hide as the day breaks
Best wishes and thank you for your entry
