A Hearts Breath~

To love is to leave yourself open to hurt
To have not loved never allows you the chance to feel....
Cherish the warmth and pain,
it allows the heart to breathe.

~The Shadow land of the Soul~

We all cast a shadow, in which we choose to hide
To shield the real self, from all that is outside
The mask in which we shield ourselves
Takes on many a shape and form
Not always clearly visible, but keeps us safe and warm....

But hiding in the darkness
Can cloud your living soul
You choose not to reveal it's face
The shadow has control....

You hold on tight to the cloud
No piece of you, you'll give
The darkness of the shadow
Is where the real you can live...

Though existing in the shadow land
May seem a secure retreat
Where you do not, bequeath your soul
To any that you meet
For shadows are a safety net
From judgment and from pain
To choose to step from out of it
The REAL SOUL... can only gain.

So in living in the shadow
Smothered in the mist
The soul does not LIVE within
The soul will just exist.

~Walking with shadows~




We walk a day with shadows
When the cloud hangs dark & low
Can't seem to get your head above
The darkness that does follow....

Can't dig yourself from out of it
No inspiration can you find
Will only see the path ahead
When the shadow you leave behind...

Through a lonely path of darkness
You never walk alone
For when it's at it's murkiest
The shadow takes you home....

The shadow always follows
The shadows always there
Coz the shadow walks beside us
When in the deep despair....

But the shadow isn't  the dreary light
That walks with us each day
The shadow is cast by a friend
Who walks us on our way....

So in darkness we are not alone
You always have a spark
Your fiend will walk beside you
And lead you from the dark....

Come sun or night or rain or shine
Your shadow you will find
Brought about by a thought
Your shadows will entwine
For shadows are not lonely souls
They always come in two's
Walking right along with us
Wearing our same shoes.....

So when you feel the darkness close
Your shadow you cannot find
Look into yourself....smile out loud
Your shadow isn't far behind
Walking right beside us now
And for all the darkest times.
