I wrote a poem today because this thread inspired me to write one !
These Shadows
Where tears have never fell from eyes,
all that shines there and glows are lies.
Good has hidden beneath the mire,
benevolence masked behind a liar.
Fill me whole and leave me dust,
forceful objects will someday rust,
same old story set in stone,
I was there, flesh and bone.
Forever eternal sorrow fades,
reaching out for summers shades.
Eluding the light of love we feel,
what within, is kept, can never heal.
Remember, Remember all of us,
do not ever forget how to trust.
Painful anguish lie in ignorant clutches,
only love heals all it touches.
Come alive unto this world,
let living become unfurled.
reinforced, well-founded, vigorous strength,
achieved only when withstanding agonies length.
Stand with these shadows and crepuscular gloom
and in you a radiant, luminous, brilliance will bloom.
Doleful and dreary and unpromising, it seems,
yet that is what gives birth to resplendent dreams
~Fijoli
