A Thin Line ...
July 13, 2012
Shadows,
Delineated by fear and the negative,
Hide the stories we cannot voice.
The light, it shines down,
Exposing their true colors.
Spellbound, we watch
And wait.
At times hard…
Shadows,
An asylum from anxiety, look inviting,
Proffer protection and solace.
The world, it assaults
Knocking repeatedly on
Our mind, our senses,
Our heart, our soul.
Knock knock…
Shadows
See us drift from day to day
Steal our sense of time
Reluctantly, we eat
Expectantly, we sleep
So much that we need to receive
So much that we need to give
So much that we should be
In the moment…
Watch the clouds whirl
Creating a patchwork sky,
A painting shifting with our emotions.
They hold our secrets and imaginations.
We wait,
For the rain.
Life moves forward.
Love awakens and surrounds,
Allows new stories to be created,
Adds to those already written
On our face.
Stories for generations to pass along.
From mouth to mouth – words
From heart to heart – feelings
From mind to mind – interpretation
An inheritance of grace,
Arriving on the wind through those
Windows we have left open.
Look up at the clouds,
A painting shifting with our emotions.
They hold our secrets and imaginations.
Now wait,
.
.
.
For the rain
To fall.

Odd that they haven't fixed multiple line viewing in a blog comment like they did for art comments. Owell

Hmm, haven't tried that for a work of art in a LONG time ... actually hitting the return.
