Sun's Shadow, Prequel
The Shadow of the Sun
Empty conversations full of
words with no point…
Happy statements that hide
what is real…
Long talks that betray nothing
of the past…
Days on end of words
exchanged…but no insight to
the truth...
Years of close contact…but
nothing has been revealed…
The truth is like a shadow…
hiding in the sun…
The shadow that shines in
darkness…that is the dark of
the moon…
The sun’s warmth sheds no
light…on the fear that is
within…
The youth of yesterday holds
the key inside…and treasures
the gift of trust…
The warrior inside fears loss
and pain from vulnerability…but
finds refuge in absolute love…
Mutual unfailing loyalty…is what
keeps the cracked heart
beating…
The scars ignored only…when
loves embrace infinitely
shields…against the eternal
pain…
The foreigner unceasingly
waited…to sneak a peek
inside…but found instead the
fulfillment…to keep them both
alive…
The hindrance of time and
money…only increases the
need…to embrace to stop the
fear…to keep the past’s damage
from resurfacing…
The darkness fills the void…of
icy caves of loss…the hope from
mature youth…strives to heal
the ancient wounds…
The absence of absolute
physical presence…stunts the
hope given by youth’s
ceaseless friendship…
The past’s agony…kept
obscure…by the fabricated
contentment…burns the torn
soul of the angel inside…
The hope that attempts to
banish the shadow…increased
by the love of many…shines
brightly…shrouded by the
Shadow…of the Sun…
