You think I cannot see you behind your curtain blind,
hiding in the shadows. You are the cautious kind.
You drape yourself in darkness, thinking I will not see,
but still the colors of your soul come shining out at me.
Step forward to the lightness. There is no danger here.
There is at least one person who bids you to come near.
Whether bad or good will come from joining life’s mad dance,
you will never know until you choose to take the chance.
The three words for the Three Things Challenge #444this week are: CURTAIN DRAPE BLIND

I have seen those kids behind a door or nearby and it is such a great observation both of the sneaky peepers and your beautiful ode to them.

It is fun to do the challenges again. I quit for awhile to get back to working on my books but the three words always prompt a shorter poem which is a fun challenge. Thanks for taking the time to post the prompts and for making them easy to find.
