shadow life

shadow life



what lies
are found
in shadows
hiding the
light
we do not
see
that which
is real
illuminated
for some
truth
is blinding
pull shades
abruptly down
shadow life
is comfort
no seeing
no believing
no living
this shadow time
disguises
truth
that
sometimes
just hurts
the pain
activated
by light
revealing
those
flaws
that we
believe
are us
foolish
lies hiding
in our
shadows

sometimes shades will spontaneously recoil...
in a heart attack moment, as light explodes into
life, we consciously pull it closed again, and say to
ourselves... gotta fix that thing someday.

someday has come and gone.
