May the sunshine
Caress the harmony
Of your soul
To harness
The similar traits displayed
Placing bets squarely
Upon the eye-shine
Lost into costly greyness
But loving shadows
Living from the clouds
The depressive but striking
Long desired passion
Of days in the sun
Producing the clouds to cast
A darkness over-
Piercing the eyes
Lashing into oblivion
But loving timeless
Feel of shadow
Love glowing towards me
Leaping, lapping, grinding
Never sad – crushed
Like diamond dust
Sparkles, indestructible
But still sanded down
Towards the shards
Of her tenderness lost
Within my soul
I now harbor
The sunshine days of clouds
Shadows define me

Just adore this wonderful write, my friend, from beginning to end you held me captive ... and I so relate, as I have lived in the shadows for many years, taking spiritual sustenance where I can. This is superb ... enjoyed it very much. I hope you are well, and your wife - it's been a while since I heard from you. Blessings, Buddy! :-)
