Shadows Don’t Share Secrets

Neville

Shadows Don’t Share Secrets

 

Shadows will never

share

  your secrets darling ..

So surely

echo’s won’t tell

  your lies ..

But the truth lies out

there

  somewhere maybe ..

So pray

where did they all go,

those

people we once knew

and then

with them the cream

of our

  years and our dreams ..

I do so fear

they might well have

all been,

somehow shadowed

away ..

    Good write N.
    A rather gloomy-sounding title to a hymn is 'Buried in shadows of the night'.

  • Neville

      Nice!! Shadows may not share secrets, but light will always yank them out! The truth lies out there....and will come back with a vengeance!! And what will happen then? 🤔

      • Neville

          There is something wonderfully mysterious about shadows. We love playing with them, but they are simply the play of light and dark. They can follow us or lead us, but the shadows of the past are always with us. What an extraordinay, contemplative write dear Nev.

            that turnstile of our life's connections
            friendship's going from BFF's
            to ghosted, in a day
            we couple-up, meet another couple
            try and keep it all together
            for entertaining group dates
            then years later we see them
            at the mall and we walk by
            because we're too embarrassed to admit
            we've forgotten each other's names..
            lol
            just one more reason
            to treasure the people in our lives
            in each moment
            leave no room for regret, choose
            our connections well
            then share without restraint, prepared
            to be burnt, knowing that's much better
            than wishing we could have done different
            after the fact, in those memory corridors
            of too late
            (I so relate Hyung
            a great write, thank you!)

              Bless you brother M .. N
