My shadow has enveloped me,
swallowed every particle that
once was identifiable.
If you wonder where I am…
I don’t know.
I don’t know, and I have
no voice to call out.
My senses are lost to me.
No one can touch me.
My eyes stare into empty spaces.
I have no physical sense of hunger.
I exist in a vacuum…
Waiting…
This is a desolate place and
I have overstayed my time.
Everything here is wrong, and
I am discomfited by my circumstance.
Once I was stronger and vigorous.
Now there is no one left,
but God himself, to save me.
But I am unconcerned.
He has done so before and
will again, and I am…
Waiting…
If there is a shadow, there is light. Lighten up!!!! This is depressing~I hope the light and love of God reaches out Soon!
Was never meant to be depressing. I read it to my writers’ group and they thought it was inspirational. It’s just a poem. God is always near.
I agree that God is always near- my mind is not as creative as yours-I felt like the person reached the bottom and exhausted just about all their hope but still a glimmer holding out for God to save them.- too deep for me I guess! I always want the happy ending- I’m a Hallmark Channel girl~
I’m sure a lot of people who are ill, desperate or alone would identify with the first part and be inspired to look to a higher power by the second. It also makes me want to reach out to offer help to someone who feels that way.
I told Kathy earlier that I wanted the Hallmark ending. I was sorry I made the comment that I thought “Shadowland” was depressing. Today, Kathy is with God and she is well. So you did have a happy ending after all Kathy~ RIP my friend.
