The shadow

The shadow behind me
Controlling all i see
It feeds the fire
Until i expire
It dances around calling out my name
Screaming fear and breathing shame
It claws and scratch's it's way inside
Making the space between collide
Steals my energy and breath
Leaving behind a desire for death
Nothing but a cold and empty shell
As the shadow trapped me in this hell
Consuming my soul leaving it black
Moving forward it never looks back

a masterful poem... yet all

a masterful poem... yet all clouds or shadows are temporary... the inner sun of God with which you are One is eternal, imho
