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,  
Grafted firmly to the Vine.

My chamber is a meadow of shadows,  
Awakened by the cries of the crows,
This reveals what is unknown,
It’s a mysterious zone.

Alone in my room,  
Oblivious to the lurking gloom,  
I break free from its weight,  
Embarking on a journey to Zion’s gate.
