I am Not a Shadow

I am Not a Shadow

the days have gone by
and I no longer sit at the edge
of the story waiting for
it to show, open up,
and fall into pieces

I am not dust, yet
I am not into a coffin, yet

I am living, breathing,
moving, moving ahead
of time, moving ahead
of plans and proposals,

I am drifting into a space
known unknown, boldly
through the darkness
knowing safe in heart

what I am becoming is
worth losing for!

it was just yesterday
I felt the plight of pain-

in my eyes,
in my mind,
in my body,
in my soul.

and today none of that
is me. I am not a shadow.

I am whole

with a loving heart, kind
soul, and conscious vision.
