Poem: Dancing Shadows
healing~
I see gentle shadows dancing in the corners
spiraling chaos, mixing tunes of forbidden chords
they summon me over with warmth unseen by oceans
with strength, they guide me, gently then with more firmness
as if they are reshaping me, molding me into something
something unbreakable, something born out of dust and storm
something unthinkable, something beautiful
slowly the melody dies down and so does the curtain of surreal existence
I ask more of what was granted, more of what shouldn't have been given
I'm denied, but requested to hear closely to tunes gently strung
by harps with heavenly force
unable to do so, I feel small, inferior to ones standing in front of me
but no one is laughing at me, no one is criticizing my failure
I'm loved here, wanted by shadows of darkness and light
they wait patiently, for me to lift my wings,
straiten my shoulder and try again
slowly but gradually I see, I finally feel the harmony
the beauty of silence as it embraces me with open arms
rubbing my back, caressing my wounds
I let the ancient fire fiercely burn in me
I let it burn all remorse, for I'm guided towards light
I'm back in the arms of my holder
my guider, my beloved, my soul.
I rest in peace with my past
willingly with my present and
joyfully with my future
