Month: November 2017
If you are looking for barriers,
you will find them, they are
always there.
So too are possibilities, always
right there.
Truth, or salvation, is often
more difficult to recognize,
but it can be found with an
open mind.
Look ahead.

Memories matter,
whether you remember
or not.
The people you were with,
the places you went, the
details become fuzzy, but
the feeling is still there.
Our lives are built on
memories, even the ones
we forget.

I wish to leave
my shadow behind,
no longer
do I require a reminder
of where I am.
Translucent darkness
with rough edges, its ability
to stretch the truth
serves no purpose.
I am tired of its lazy ways,
the constant need
for attachment
and a deviant reflection
of where I stand.
Never knowing
its own direction, this shadow
has seen too much of me,
hiding when I could
use support,
believing it knows me
all too well, and carrying
the scent
of my scattered past.
A shadow only follows,
more suitable for
someone else to hide away.
Darkness,
I’m not going there.
I see the light.
