Shadows of Darkness
Many of us have dark shadows that we have seen when walking forwardThey can look very large and luming and very intimidating at timesIt's like those dark shadows are hanging over your shoulders and you walk faster and the footsteps of the dark shadows appear ahead of your own steps even though you have increased your speedIt's as though the dark shadows want to get to wherever you are headed before you doThose dark shadows can be the reason why many become discouraged and afraid or even paralyzed to even take more stepsThese are the dark shadows of the voices and words used by others who kept us in a cage by using those bars of intimidation and threats to seal the door of the cage shutThose dark shadows that plague many people are very difficult to remove and overcomeTo leave the cage of the dark shadows is where the freedom to fly instead of walking is foundRising above the dark shadows and reflecting our inner light that shines from withinTurning up the music in our hearts and drowning out the voices of the dark shadows giving our hearts a new rhythm and a wonderful beat that sends us soaring to the sky far over the dark shadows
