Poem Poetry: The Shadow

Deep within we know

There where the shadows grow

When a darkened image casts its spell

Inevitably I’m weakened, by shadows by darkness

This invisible part of me

Throwing me, off course

Spinning me, away from truth

This is a shadow secret,

of the me yet to be.

I’ve cast discomfort into my life

Wrong learning

Incorrect accumulation of my growing

These blocks against which my evolution stumbles.

True deep light

This is our origin from which the metamorphosis of me happens

It’s my shining

I’m here to find.

Not far, no

Not near though

Down into the intrinsic

The simple silent place

Here is shadow free

It’s itself

Me.

Striving each new dawn to unite

With the universe

Transcending my eclipse.
