Poem Artwork

 

Shadow Light Finally Awakened

 

Words without color
Are words drawn from an empty well
From fathoms of dusty knowledge that fade
As time encroaches time

 

And sounds without song
Are but shards of empty utterances
Where once melody passed from quill to paper, from page to book, from heart to soul
But are now mere ellipses to nowhere

 

I need not request you touch my heart
To envelope our beings with shadow's light
And create choruses of joy atop the palette of love

For you have forged the arc of our journey
Wherein awaits the mystery
That patience bestows on time
That willingness allows for hope
And courage delivers with passion

 

To be my shadow light
Is to dance with me in the whiteness of infinite rainbows
Even as some answers remain in shadows

As I learn to properly love myself

In order to create love of worth for others

Your ending reminds me of what is written over the temple at the Oracle of Delphi: Know Thyself. Quite a challenge and but the prelude to what you refer to as "love myself in order to create lover of worth for others." Quite the challenge in this or any time.
