Premium Member From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise
From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise, On the paths of the night, our steps are guided by nameless stars, In the cosmic silence, the whispers of destiny that traverse us are heard, Every hidden thought becomes a window to the inner light. Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual, A song of the heart is born, a call piercing the veil of forgetfulness, There where the soul travels through abysses of light and dream, Seeking meaning in the chaos of stars that unravel into memories. The river of thoughts flows incessantly, whispering tales from foggy times, Where ancient...

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, ...

Premium Member Under the leaden sky, where dreams intertwine with the shadows of night
Under the leaden sky, where dreams intertwine with the shadows of night, monsters walk among us, born from divine wrath and ignorance, creations of gods who laugh in hidden corners of the universe, fed by human folly that strengthens them with each passing day. They wander our streets like aimless ghosts, mercilessly hunting any soul they encounter, leaving only desolation...

Wipe away the tears and listen to the voice – of a heart who knows, love is the only choice ~ by author Tears didn’t come when I first heard The words of this illness, so absurd When a tumor is found, the light stills Because we all know a fear that kills Tears weren’t wiped away until I prayed Jesus...

Tumultuous:Self-Esteem
Expectations brings about self deprecations, sometimes I wonder if the thoughts running through my head are my own or somebody else’s? The world lives in constant turmoil, waves crashing, tides swerving in and out from open- ended beaches, abysmal delays of the lighthouse directory, guided by supplemental shocks of lightening rays trajectory. I stand firmly in front of the baseless sandcastle, a fragile foundation of past voices from lurking shadows who slowly...

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...

Premium Member On the edge of time, I stand and watch how the shadows of dreams flow
On the edge of time, I stand and watch how the shadows of dreams flow, people carry their burdens like stars fallen from the heavens, unraveling into the sea of endless, unanswered questions, and I wonder if hope is just an illusion woven from broken desires. What is life, if not a dance of contrasts, a play of shadows...

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,...

Premium Member In the silence of the evening, when shadows dance on the walls of my soul
In the silence of the evening, when shadows dance on the walls of my soul, I wonder if you can be the place where I rest my entire being, not just my weary body, but also the remnants of my lost heart, a refuge where my eyes, which have seen too much, can sleep in peace. Perhaps, when they...

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...

Confronting shadows
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...
