Poetry & Art

Between light and shadow

by Glory Castillo • April 2, 2020

Between light and shadow
Sometimes I grow, sometimes I don’t know where I’m headed
Between dreams and reality
To get anxious or live carefree
I sip some black tea
Focus my mind on tree pose
Focused on my mind so I know where my qi flows
Between cons and pros
Sometimes I’m ecstatic and then I buy a black rose
Sometimes I’m conservative, other times I take off my clothes
I’m mostly awake but sometimes I doze
I’m not always balanced but I’m cautious of my dose
Grateful for my highs and awake during my lows

Hello,
My name is Glory Castillo. I have been writing poetry since a very young age. Being an only child, I needed to find a way to process pain alone. I believe poetry is a form of art, expression and therapy. It helps me cope and it also makes me happy when other people can relate to it. Being in the health care field, gives me a better understanding of how important it is to let your mind relax and your thoughts flow. Poetry is my therapy.
