Be mindful
of the shadow
destroying
the self
Its conspiracy
of silence
hides deeply
indwelt
No light
or direction
can fill
its domain
With fear
as its captive
shading joy
— into pain

Now that one goes from shadow into darkness. Well said my friend
Thanks again for reading.
Most welcome Kurt
I paused over fear being the captive, Kurt...Iād been expecting it to be in charge. Now Iām wondering what has hold of it. š¹š¤ššÆļøš¦āā¬
The shadow of empty and deafening uncertainty ...
A powerful and thought-provoking piece. I appreciate how you give expression to those hidden shadows within us that sometimes rob us of joy. There is a depth and psychological honesty in these verses. Beautifully written!
