Fighting Shadows

when the going gets tough....
Here we sit again facing off across the barren wasteland of the kitchen table, knife and fork our armaments. Yesterday, there were never words enough to say I love you. Today, there are never words. Shadows creep in at the corners -- spiderwebs of indifference on undead souls. They reach to steal our tomorrows, and we haven't the will to object. Once, the shadows were vanquished with a laugh or touch... today, they crouch victorious over broken dreams. It takes two to tango... and to tangle... and fighting shadows is meaningless without the light of hope.

Every shadow has light as its source. But it's not always easy to remember that.

Here we sit again
facing off
across the barren
wasteland
of the kitchen table,
knife and fork
our armaments.

Yesterday,
there were never
words enough to say
I love you.

Today,
there are never
words."
Wow! What a heartfelt write, which is an understatement. Stay strong...
In Spirit,
Bear
