Let your poem today be a peephole into the complexity and perplexity of the human shadow, your own perhaps. Let it somehow focus on the spiritual process of incorporating your own shadow-side or learning to show compassion for blatant displays of shadow in others.

Don’s iPhone slices the light,

coaxes the batteries blown by the wind

bursts energy with his view: electronic!

 

Jeanne’s iPhone contrasts the white with shadow

punches the vibrant colors way up

wings the birds-wings the flight of energy!

Pattern #49 Shadow

Shadow of a camel

Shadow of a camel

I am a shadow
under the sky

swinging singing
by and by.

Shadows catch the light-
point deep

divine direction
of God’s leap!

whites of eyes and teeth:
story of trust, smiles, sings loud
Kelly-Annika!

Pattern #28 Cage

birdcage

birdcage-shadow: flight
delayed; bird cage door locked not
to light, air or rot!

Shadow

Shadow
shades me in cool,
veils me in jewels,
hushes my fusses,
wraps me away
to end of the day-
nightfall!
