Shadows And Light Poem by William Lindenmuth

I am lost within the shadows
Searching for the light
On a line of demarcation
Separating day from night
In the lightness of my being
And the heaviness I feel
The secrets of the shadows
the light will be revealed
shrouded in mystery
yet right before your eyes
your vision gives you blindness
your blindness brings surprise
to look between the lines of time
emerging within the light
I walk the empty path before me
From the daytime through the night
The answers lie in questions
as questions will unfold
The story of the ages
Just waiting to be told
When all silence is deafening
Each whisper amplified
It is the heart that truly listens
The emotion of this ride
All existence will be questioned
In the shadows of my being
The soul seeks its release
From what my eyes are seeing
Standing naked here before you
Bathing in pure light
Where time is never measured
And there is no day or night
I walk between the shadows
In search of inner peace
the light of life engulfs me
existence will not cease
the song goes on forever
a celestial melody
for in between
the shadows and light
is where I long to be
