"Shadows and Figures"

Helston, United Kingdom-richard-tilney-bassett.jpg


Do you ever feel as if the world we live in, the lives we
Lead, are just Shadows of the Real Thing? That there
Will come a time when we’ll pass through to that
Reality on the other side of the window? We
Must live in the now in this world, because
Anything else is wasteful, but I feel that
We must never lose sight that there
Are great things just over the
Horizon. Don’t give in to
The despair this world
Instills in us all; hold
On to the love in
Your spirit. That
Much is real.
