From Shadow to Shine

Skills were suppressed while others took flight a way of life put to rest another came to bear Scratched in moonlight held on for a wild ride spread across reality like ash in shifting wind Generational shifts pathways dimly lit leading toward a white hot light From solitude to fortitude no picnic but a buffet of trials and triumphs I’ve stood on stages unrefined buffed and polished by time until life and self became intertwined
