Confronting Shadows
The day arrives with its light, The stranger hides in the night. Its tendrils linger within a chamber, Sometimes trailing us in our slumber. I seek the light, but the night pursues me; Each day is a walk across a turbulent sea. I tread along the paths of the Divine, ...

Why should we tread alone? Come, let's walk together. Each path is peril-prone. We face stormy weather. Shouldn't we be aware Of our powers and flaws Shouldn't each one's welfare Be conscientious cause Shouldn't our arrogance Selfishness and detest Give way to elegance And make ourselves blessed Our future is unknown. Let's not be in tether. Why should we tread alone? Come, let's walk together. ...

in the spring, when petals praise within the song of grace who’ll amaze beneath the silence of a gentle bud there is a power, power in the blood in the summer, when stories reveal hope so sacred, sacred enough to heal beyond the sun grows a life of wonder singing exultation in the raging thunder in the autumn, when leaves begin to weep there...

The city lights are often burning bright but what may lurk in shadows of the night? Around the corner lover's locked embrace or homeless, roaming streets to find a place. The laughter loudly heard from a night bar or music sweetly playing from afar. Could see some pretty girls walk down the street excited at the prospects they might meet. A stranger, who...

On a dusky evening long time ago, When shadows huddled at every corner, When rain had gone and birds had roosted, You held me close and whispered in my ear; “In your eyes I see, the blue of the sky, In your soul, you hold the depth of the seas, Love swells, like tides on rise, My life, I vow,...

Shadows of the past… I dare to confront As my soul welcomes challenges with hope Triumphantly while thankful spirit does cope Surmounting trials of grievous affront. Shadows midst secret deals… I strive to check As my heart submits to divine truth’s worth Exposing transgressions against fake mirth Repenting for pardon that conquers wreck. Shadows with their deceit… I ought to face As my...

Most shadows are good. When light hits a tree, shade will encircle it. You can find relief from the summer heat by sprawling yourself on cool grass. Embrace shade as your friend. When shadows creep at night, let them, with stillness, lull you to sleep. At other times, shadows are metaphors for sinister things which envelop you like black fog. If they ensnare you, summon your faith; call upon...

Why can't I walk in the garden at night? Horrible shadows keep blurring my sight ~ They make me run like a man with no balls. Each time I trip and get bruised from my falls. These shadows whisper cold fears in my ear, Now I understand the songs sung by fear, Yet I must confront these fiery shadows, But each new...

Look closely at shadows following you shading footfalls with a soft Lapis blue Bits of yesterday mixed with tomorrow Shadows reflecting days we could borrow They belie the memories that we find in their whispers of all those left behind moments becoming shadows of our days twisting, turning as our hair fills with greys Shadows of moments that we now regret. Promises that...

With the romantic spectrum of sunburst sky’s fire I profile the radiant rendering of my blazing desire, where our harmonious hearts are entwined, sutured by the enticing threads of sublime fondness. I couldn't release then your alluring hands, for I felt my ebullient exhilaration fervently flicker, flashing on your face like the luster of twilight, I got...

Attached to outcomes, ego opaques light, radiance of our true Self, veiled by mind, demons of darkness, shrouding heart’s delight, thought tentacles gripping us in their bind. As both tormentor and the tormented, being both the subject and the object, we inhaled fragrance of love, bliss scented, causing boundless rapture to rise unchecked. Waking up in the dream by slowing thought, with ego exhumed,...

On a whisper-still afternoon, with a feeling of deep calm. The last thing I thought of was being in any harm. From the seaside village, I had headed out to the ocean, A day for enjoying the sea's cool, relaxing motion. Oppressive tropical heat, unusual for this time of year. The gentle waves lapping gave me nothing to fear....

A nebulous horizon where old light dies, And silent Shadows from desire's mouth arise. They press against the skin, a whisper in the ear, Yet in their depths, a hidden strength appears. I face their forms, no longer bound by flight, And find my peace in the heart of endless night....
