Cloak Of Shadow
I am usually in the shadows
But I sense the time is near
When love will come to claim me
And I can put aside my fears
There has been this lifelong aching
I have never stopped my searching
A sort of desperate longing
Running in tandem with my ageing
But will you then decide
To burn me
Incinerate my soul
And desert me
Will I return to just ashes
A carbon copy spirit
Not really here
A stain on the wall
My heart wants to break
In tiny little pieces
Shattered like an ancient angel
Right before the fall
Come and end my torment
Lead me to the light
I will leave my cloak of shadow
Leave behind the night
*****
Sometimes the beauty and sheer power of creation just overwhelms me in the places I go.
All I can do is stand there with my camera and hope it doesn’t destroy me with joy.
This was one of those occasions…barely able to take the shot.
Exhilarated, exhausted..I wouldn’t change a thing.
Ripe Churchyard, East Sussex, UK.
I have paired this work with “The Way” by Zack Hemsey…it seemed fitting.
