A LIVING SHADOW

I am not perfect, and I am filled with challenges,

but they are met with courage if I know I am with you,

and you are at peace.

Your kindness and good nature are my beacon and hope,

I walk with hope every day, a few steps further.

My progress is a slow progress, reaped by a certain nutriment of souls,

whose imbricated form sets the stage,

and constructs a rhythm of infinite cadences,

where some voyages are made of yearning for the light.

Even where the lightest dark conceals,

the life of a dream dreampt to completion,

we stand united, near our rendering purpose fully,

in the fragmented science of,

a living shadow.
