Shadows on the wall, can you see her?
Can you hear her silent screams as the sun falls from the sky?
Do you witness each abuse?
Each crime against humanity?
Each feverent prayer?
Just to soak it up within your deep dark snare?
Shadows on the wall, you're a secret keeper.
Your dark tendrils reach out at night
You grasp, claim and display the pain
Yet come the light of day,
You gladly disappear!
What emerges is the person who just gets on with their day
A smile, a laugh, a tortured soul
Encased in shadows wrapped in light
Ready to fight another day
Only to face the pending night.

Thank you so much!
Good write Clara and as you have said the light is there and it will come out of the shadows to bring light to your life.
