In the shadows

In the shadows you made your home

All alone in the wilderness

Your heart seemingly shattered

Into a million tiny shards of glass

And so you had to bear the piercing of it all

Alone

But believe me the Universe is your witness

Even as the world at large turns

A completely blind eye

Do not forget that they are

Sleepwalking

But not you

Don’t you know this pain

Will heal you

Don’t you understand that this sorrow

Will in time

Become your birthing place

So alone in the shadows

Assemble all of the kindling you need

And use the starlight of your hidden self

To light the spark

That will bring the brightest part of you

To birth

And then around the raging bonfire

Dance

Until the beating of your heart

Awakens deep inside of you

All of the love in the world

You missed
