FROM THE SHADOWS


Looking through her eyes
I wonder does she see
All that I am
All that I hope to be
Where does my love place
The value of her heart
Is it near or an ocean afar
We connect in silence
No need for verbal interplay
Our souls connect
Somehow they have chosen this way
We share in mystery
This life produces a measure of intrigue
Held in deep response yet to be
A mirror whispers the future
One of many possibilities seen
In this dimension I try to open
Eyes shut for so long
I try to reach out and give voice
We speak now
In joyous emotion
And logic devine
Having come through the storm
We soul touch and find ecstasy
What awaits singing from the shadows
No one can know
For free will is the basic essence
We come naked into being
Stripped of my pride
I am allowed to see
Into the future, back to the past
Life is what we want it to be?
