Shadow’s Still

October’s hush is falling,
almost gone now,

yet I am shadow’s still…

even as light streams of sun
yawns toward southern skies,
there will be a creep of growth
wherever shadow decides to fall…

as even more will come,
when leaves wisp away
to follow wind, and moon,

and shooting stars…

even in the dark,
I am shadow’s still…

near enough to give warmth,
calm enough to be heaven…

quiet enough for love
even in the dark.

It is good,
this stillness, in shadow’s keep.



"There's a reason they call God The Creator - he sides with talent." Julia Cameron

I keep finding these little treasures today, that I have somehow managed to miss.
I am pleased, that I found this one.
Beautiful!
