Living Shadow

John-C-Hunter

Dancing through the sorrow, I step around the pain,
but nothing breaks the bough of memory and shame.

Pressured on my path, I never look away,
blocking from my sight, a single welcomed ray.

Garnered by the dawn and darkened by the fight,
a missed relief, a single breath of solitary light.

A wretched walk, a shadowed path - a history of souls.
Abreast I stand with myself hidden by the folds.

Broken by despair and shrouded in delusion
A walk I take, hand in hand - and draw the same conclusion.

    1. As we walk through life we have certain expectations that in the end seem more like delusional thinking than our original optimism. 2. I really messed up back then and I never seem to be able to recover. ~~~These are some of the ideas that come to my mind as I read this carefully and nicely constructed poem. Every line is very powerful and i am having trouble choosing a favorite line. Welcome to MPS.
