[ORIGINAL POETRY] The Heart of the Shadow

in poetry •  8 years ago  (edited)


I have looked with eyes wide open, still unable to see

I have questioned the heart of another and found that I was questioning me

I have dived into depths so deep to understand this energy

All this swirling sanity rising up to rescue me


In healing is a love once blind with sight returned to see

All this outward chaos is a mirror of inward me

I will choose my angels carefully for to guide or deceive you'll see

That I am born to inner thoughts of this fated destiny



In shadows have I seen such light, the light of many moons gone by

The light from crystals held within and nurtured till the day I die

I have come to knowing of the wisdom unfolding here

I'll make my peace with the shadow and stand my ground to fear

Wow you making nice coinage here well done ! I like writting poems/songs bit im nowhere near this good and mine are just random feelings here and there neber full poems or songs really.

Thanks @jasonxg. For me writing down my random feelings is where it all started. I learnt how to structure the words from reading other peoples excellent work. Glad you like it. I appreciate the feedback.

The introspection here is moving. Been loving your poetry chops:))))

Thanks @prufarchy. There are a lot of fellow poets here at Steemit to help inspire me.
