Shining


 

 

 

 

 

Shining

Fears lurk in the dark corners of my life;
I hear them softly breathing in the night.
The terrors I sense feel sharp as a knife,
Stabbing from shadows before I can fight.
And yet, I do not have to be afraid,
Of darkling shades in the mists of twilight.
Though gloom may leave the faint of heart dismayed,
Stygian shadows flee from faintest light.
Nor can they reach beyond the inky shade;
Fearful themselves of penetrating sight,
Which lays bare the void of which fears are made,
And fills their emptiness with deft insight.
Illumination has a simple start:
The light that shines from deep within my heart.

Fear flees from the light, keep your batteries charged.
