SHADOWS

Shadows

Ominous clouds lay suspended
Under dark gray skies
Casting shadows of darkness
On the pathway of my journey.
I feel as if I am enslaved in a fog
Wandering beneath the tall lofty pines;
Confusion is created within my spirit
Causing thoughts of fear as to
Where my direction will lead me,
Keeping me in a path of darkness
Obscuring the journey of light I seek;
If I try to avoid the fear it will
Bring disorder and uncertainty into my being
With every misguided step I take,
For unless I embrace the fear head on
And become one with the shadows I will not
Understand the darkness that is cast over me
And my journey into light will cease as I
Will be trapped on a pathway of shadows
That will attempt to destroy the spirit within me
Leading me on a journey of disparity.
