Our Shadows Shadows have a life of their own Though they mimic our flesh and bone. They speak to us of times gone by Lay pictures to our inner eye. Soft severed scrap heaps in the deep Those surface you, when you’re asleep. The warm water of a sauna Are our shadows, in a corner? They are lawyers of shapes that shift Those butterflies that give us lift. Ghosts and spirits that mine our goal The very door way, gates our soul. They are transient all sorts of things That pulls our inner puppet strings. They are our phantoms of a kind Fly fickle fairies in our mind. Those shadows sail our might and main They are the kingdoms of our reign. |

so very true... I live in amongst those shadows and at times they are all that comforts me ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Shadows have a life of their own Though they mimic our flesh and bone. ======================= Soft severed scrap heaps in the deep Those surface you, when you’re asleep. ========================= They are lawyers of shapes that shift Those butterflies that give us lift. Ghosts and spirits that mine our goal The very door way, gates our soul. They are transient all sorts of things That pulls our inner puppet strings. They are our phantoms of a kind Fly fickle fairies in our mind. Those shadows sail our might and main They are the kingdoms of our reign. ===================== "Those butterflies that give us lift." ya know I love ya for that line, dont ya? (yes, you know)  "Ghosts and spirits that mine our goal The very door way, gates our soul. They are our phantoms of a kind Fly fickle fairies in our mind." *Oh I do so love the way your poetic mind works.* "Those shadows sail our might and main They are the kingdoms of our reign." you are my King of cool ... Long live the King *L* *winkiewinkie*  meSome find subtlety in strangers some find subtlety alone Your eyes,you see everything my eyes,I see its all together now and I know. ~candlebox~ |

Like this Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |
