Where Shadows Never Reach By John Herlihy Never question the mystery of soul, A mystery so deep it remains whole. The vast soul reveals light and shade, And is of a diaphanous texture made. One corner of my soul has only light, No shadow found anywhere in sight. The solitary place is of my very own, This inner privacy to no one known. This corner of soul I always beseech, A place where shadows never reach. The world has harsh words on its lips, Words that only feel like icicle drips. My inner world feels as midnight fire, Stoking the embers our lives inspire.

MY SOUL DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, SO I NEVER QUESTION IT'S MYSTERIES. I JUST TRUST IN THE OWNER AND...PRESS ON! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Your words describe the "secret garden" of my heart and soul. Life's bitterness does not know the combination to the lock on its door! 'Enjoyed tremendously, John!!

Love ya!

I love this vision of part of our souls consisting of pure light. I've learned that it's called the "Neshama." It means soul in Hebrew.

Great thoughts on the soul as we all know a soul can either be totally bright or totally dark. No shadows are supposed to linger.

May your soul be always bright which I think it is!

The personal explanation of soul continues to be an intriguing exploration to read. Everyone who attempts to lay down the words usually projects something that can be identifiable for everyone, regardless of faith or secular based convictions.

Sounds like a hot place in the mind that never sleeps. Cool imagery in this one. I couldn't help thinking about White Room by Creme. "Where the shadows run from themselves�"

A place where shadows never reach is either very dark, or very bright, and we as humans have both in our souls, and both can give us strength and inspiration.

Our souls are everything you say they are, and more some people say. It can inspire us, then turn around and despize us.
