TODAY’S LIFE LESSON IS A POEM:
The Shadow Self
The place between the dark and light
That we would call day or night
The space between the rising sun
And where it sets when the day is done
A place where we begin to merge
As our energies fade or sometimes surge
The intimate place where shadows dwell
That soulful time between heaven and hell
A time when we all can learn to dance
Through the veils of time in a spiritual trance
Where all forms of life are cast in stone
And the human heart feels so alone
The dance begins to awaken the soul
And our hearts align to sum of the whole
Then the shadow self steps out in the light
And our wisdom awakens the true insight
The shadow fades and soul expands
As we journey home to sacred lands
The place where love embraces us all
And we forget the graceful fall
Our time has come to all return
And share the blessings of what we learned
The shadow and the light are one
They are reflected from the eternal sun
It is where our male and female unite
As the inner child whispers good night.
