A human being is only breath and shadow.
Sophocles
In the shadow...
(c) Joni Zipp
While I sit in the lonely shadow
the cloud hovers over me
I try to run away from it
its eye won’t set me free.
As I cling to the shadow
the darkness covers my being
I’m not allowed sunlight
only what I am seeing.
As I kiss the weary shadow
I lend blessing to the rain
it scurries off in fear
releasing all my pain.
As I walk out of the shadow
the Light beckons my soul
nurturing me 'til once again
my body can feel whole
Goodbye lonely shadow
leave me with my day
Let me drink the sunlight
that reigns this glorious day!

We're running with the shadows of the night,
so baby take my hand it'll be all right.
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight;
They'll come true in the end.
You're a sweetheart! :)
Very Beautiful. I love the opening quote too.
Missing you,
Raven
~waves to Raven~

Work, write and be happy! :)
