Shadow Man

Hello Me
I see you now.
You're not hidden any more.

You’ve been in the shadows
All my life,
But now awareness brings you forth.

Hello Me
You scared me once.
I never did believe,


That all those nasty
Evil thoughts,
Were ever really me.

And so I helped you hide down deep below.
To a place where I did know,
I would not, could not go.

Hello Me
I see you now.
Shadow, come to light

You're not so scary
Anymore,
With awareness shining bright.

Hello Shadow
Lets be friends.
Together we can be,

Much more than we were
When apart.
Let’s merge “us” to “we”.

No longer do you need to hide,
From shadows steer my course.
Stay with me here in the light,
No longer, either, lost.

And help me shine my light so bright,
So that others, they can see.
The shadow is not a wicked beast
Because really, its just Me.

David I loved this so much that I read it many many times, and then was curious as to what else you wrote. Wonderful positive start to each day.

Hi Anna. Thank you for your kind words, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
As you can see, the blog is still new but I intend to keep updating it regularly. Hopefully more poetry will find its way into consciousness as I do.
Have a wonderful week :)
