Come with Me to the Shadows.

Come with me through the darkest night

In the shadowed places away from the sun

Hide with me here in the cool gray light

and I will speak of all my stories past

and the dreams I have

of tomorrow.

 

Come with me to the edge of the earth

Stand with our toes hanging over the brink

Feel the rush of the wind as it pushes and pulls

in boundless uncertainty and know

the desire to both stay on solid ground and

to jump into the abyss.

 

Come with me to the center of the ocean

Sink far into silence as our feet connect to the ground

Be surrounded by the deafening noise of unrelenting thoughts

Let the pressure build until you may implode

and completely understand

the necessity of air.

 

Come with me into the dense dark wood

Embrace its shelter from the chaos of people and things

Let your feet find the winding paths and rocky hills

Release your wandering soul off the path into the thick

then discover the meaning of being lost and

how to be found.

 

Come with me and lie down on this uneven and rocky ground

Take my hand and I will show you all of the open spaces and places

Breathe in the air and look up at the stars

Be broken open with a thousand glimmering points of light

here I will show you the vastness of

an unending sky

 

Come with me into this heavy chasm of my heart

Recline into its softness, its hardened spots, its hushed slow beat

Trace all of the places that have been scarred with each fingertip

Feel what I feel when it has exploded into a thousand points of light

And in these shadows I will show you all of

the hidden parts of my soul.
