Poem
Fleeing from the shadows Soundless shadows, like the wind Dancing through the pines, wind silent As the hills, breathing out echoes From beneath the cool, clear mornings Shadows pleading for the moments When yesterday met the heart with prayers, Descended with the light, faded Into twilight, the night hesitating to prove It is like the heart of a hope, hesitating No more free – always imprisoned By the yearning born from a heart who believes Just beyond the shadow, hides the victory Fleeing from the shadows – a dream Bright and wonderful, amazing each heart Who feels its tenderness, intimate Like the wind who sings into the spirit, The one who believes – it is there, amid The trees, in the wind, behind a shadow Where light lives, breathing peace Answering the griefs, aching to be seen Submerged in indignities, embracing Tears that see through the pain, into the darkness That surrounds me when a shadow Falls down, erasing the night and kissing Away all the tragedy that comes from seeing Into yesterday’s doubt, where there is a memory Clouded by faith and resonating in prayers Where I once found a piece of my spirit Preparing for the way it feels to believe, to just believe This is wisdom – the wisdom of the trees, The insight from the wind, the prudence of a heart A soul who knows, understanding the complexity In the dream, the fantasy, revealing – the tear’s kiss Upon a feeling, a breathe of intimacy found beyond the shadows Where He lifted my spirit – greater than the memory I believe – I believe, Yes, I believe! Job 12:22 (KJV) “He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.”
