mine was a long-lived Dark
coming out into Light was not easy
nor simple
and still i see the shadows
creeping in corners of my restless mind
Time is an uneasy ally
i do not trust too easily
for she can scar as well as heal
and i bear the marks
born of her fickle friendship
yet when i look
at what lies before me
the obstacles and pitfalls
the fear of the unknown
i do not hide my face as once
i did
for i am earning free from chains
too long wrapped about me
bonds three decades in making
woven and forged in fear and pain
thus here lies my truth
whatever lies ahead
is worth living
come what may
and the shadows cannot last
in the light of a brand new day
3 bits of love:
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
Yup. That's life. It's always good to push back the darkness and shed a little light...
"Where can I go from your
Spirit? Where can I flee from you presence? . . . If I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,' even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you." (Ps 139, 7, 11-12). Even in the dark, there was light, and you're finally seeing it and understanding it. Open eyes, open heart, and new life.
