Many the days have numbered
since I last trusted my thoughts to paper
for I was a fool.
I tried to leave in my past my exile
and take a step out in to the world
so that I might know companionship.
With this step
the feeling of joy
was know to me once more
but with it came pain and confusion
and with quickness I retreated
from the world once more
into arms of my embracing shadow,
my exile,
and there I found my peace,
my understanding,
my relief,
and again my loneliness.
My only prayer is that
before my days see their last
one will come and join me in my shadows
to fill my heart joy
and my words with the happiness
that they once knew.
Until blessed with love
I
“One with in the shadowsâ€
will walk alone.
