Gazing
into shadows
he silently stares at me
afraid to feel
...or not to feel
afraid of what I’ll see
He looks at me from the darkness
with eyes I cannot see
I feel him reaching out
...reaching into me
He slowly walks around me
searching, seeking...stepping ever near
whispering animal secrets
which only my heart may hear
What you’ve searched so long for
is before your very eyes
it’s hard to see the truth
through so many human lies
The veils you wear to shield you
from useless human judgment
obscures your inner light
it creates a shadowed soul...
emitting only fright
He walked me through the forest
where I shed my protective cloak
a low rumbling laughter
seemed to fill his throat
Quietly our feet tread across
the shadows of the night
a sense of peace fell upon me
as I let go of my hidden fight
‘till finally we surfaced
in destiny’s soft light
