Shadow
Come to me
I embrace thee
Set myself free
Above the din
Above the fray
I am the night
Among the day
The darkened sky
Illuminate
There is no love
There is no hate
Ahead of me
Walk through the gate
A gateway to
The other side
I am complete
I have arrived

The reason why we have a shadow is to tell us what stage of the day it is. When we invented the convention called time we kick started the process of using monuments or sun dials to show us what time it was by their shadows. Animals don’t wear Rolex watches but they know when it’s time to go to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. We’re slowly eradicating our instincts to exist in favour of laziness and complacency
All very true. In this instance, I am speaking more of our shadow selves, but the night can be a good parallel for that as well.
It has it’s pros and cons just like everything else. Less people to get in the way, but also less support. Also, when days off come around, trying to flip and adapt to a normal schedule like the rest of the world is a total challenge. I
m hoping to be on days sooner rather than later.
Beautifully written, Kevin. It can be truly liberating when we truly accept ourselves just the way we are.
Inner balance! 👌 I think we still find love there, though. But maybe that I think that means I haven’t yet arrived…
I think it’s a part of us and we have to accept it. Even if it means we’re more shadow than light.
