The shadows whisper to me.
I pretend that I do not sense their presence
or hear their angered plea.
For I have never understood what they want.
Maybe this life is just for chaos,
the next giving light to confusion.
Making progression possible
and shadows less likely to scream in whispers.
A next evolution of easier transgression,
fewer mistakes to haunt the inner core.
No more memories of how it felt to be wrong
about life, love and worth.

Yet I wonder if death of this energy
must mean the death of flesh.
Maybe realization is the doorway
to the next.
A thousand life times
in what we thought was one.
All the while the key was learning
without repeating
and stumbling towards the light.

Mmm...one day is but a thousand. How about one day is 1440 seconds! Just kidding Susan. Love this poem. It has got me thinking of time. Bravo my friend.

yes - to learn and move forward - if I could just get off the treadmill, maybe I'd make some ground -

enjoyed this greatly -

~ and it can be downright difficult to get it all right the first time around! But eventually, I believe we do!

Susan, that was a remarkable write!

Ah, and I thought no one would understand my thoughts in this...not that it is complicated but rather, bizarre.

you people rock....
