Shadow
Eyes are vital yet careless to see
Its vigilance has become quiescent to me
A breath into darkness has surrounded me
Watching blind folded as the future approaches silently
Wait just a minute gather your thoughts
How can this be, Im alone in the dark.
My surroundings have changed yet still Im alone.
How did I get here, where have I gone.
My thoughts overflow and recite its self
I must some how restrain myself
Still I object to my thoughts and why Im here
I know for a fact the answer is near
Then I hear a loud sound, a thump in the dark
I hear its breath roar, it scents fear from my heart
My patience is diminished my eyes are a sweat
My legs are now numb feeling distress
I stand to walk but feel paralyzed
My dismay has control over my size
At my breath now what shall I speak
Shall I ask for forgiveness for I am weak?
Should I kneel to its force and say I am yours
Or will it crush me as others whove knelt at its door
Unaware of the light of hope which returned
Awaking to loneliness as quite is stirred
There was no such thing, but my imaginations kin.
I look all around and see others the same
As we look at each other with suspicion in mind
And forget all except our profits in mind
So we find our seat for its ours to possess
And proceed to make comfort at our lonely nest
Within a moment, again, the darkness arrives
This succubus has returned with fever of hate
Am I prepared to handle my fate?
My eyes see movement of the darkness Im in
Then suddenly a reign of hope begins.
A voice in the light calls out to my name.
Close your eyes my son and have faith in me.
But I cannot do this for the beast will be free
To attack at his will if I cannot see.
Close your eyes now; I will say this no more
The voice is speaking softly yet stronger then before.
Close your eyes now for you dont understand
The beast is your mind and your soul is the dark.
What is this soul is it mines to possess.
Yes my son its your most precious gift
Now close your eyes tight and think with your heart
Your eyes can no longer help in the dark.
Ive given you all and youve chosen such few
For so much love I still feel for you
It closes in slowly pressuring your faith.
Its sound adds weight to my growing distrait
I question you father for why am I hear
What is the reason for living in Fear?
Why is it dark but so Im not blind
Yet my eyes see nothing but thoughts in my mind.
Understand one thing youre free to be loved
That feeling you feel is love in your heart.
War is not the answer to all of your fears
That beast can be loved it wont leave you in tears.
Before I leave now for centuries and more
This last thing I say remember it for sure.
You must first love what is within
Then think for your life until it must end.
After it all your answers Ill hear then final judgment ill pass when the end is here.
Here is where it all begins, till the end is revealed
Forward to an unseen future for a man made from man
Upon the path of life played throughout the sands of time
Journeys and experiences can always be retold
But your life in essence will one day grow old
The view of a loved one brings comfort untold
A salute to your life when your child is born.
To a child from love comes a child worth loving
To a parent who cares has a child whos caring
Who views his mother thru his caring heart
And his father the mentor from his growing start.
Little time passes in life before it is finally gone
And this story is to be told when life has begun
As Seasons come and go; days pass away as night turns to day.
Happiness is a luxury we cannot always possess.
Sadness, a misfortune we do not want to possess.
Life is full of these things that are called unexpected
Man is born with promises of freedom and pursues happiness
but never is child promised reality and its bitterness.
He is thought to overcome much if he tries hard enough
yet he is judged by failures if he fails long enough.
Our triumphs are remembered and marked in time
as history tells tails of what man has left behind.
While living in the present and remembering the past
yet the future is a story with an unwritten past
the future is blurred like a thick fog and wind
but this future will one day become your best friend.
How you treat this friend is how you treat yourself
forgiving your wrongs and moving on with your help.
Trust in what you find when right is against wrong
And if your judgments can be rewritten, then rewrite them in stone
And if you still make a mistake now and then
Remember that in life you must first become your best friend.
