On sunny days Shadows become apparent for all to see Walking along Standing at water’s edge Darkness passes over me Momentarily removed from the light, I look up A butterfly! Something else, larger this time Soars overhead Casting its shadow across my path Grateful for the “heads up” I look skyward An eagle A heron A loon A merganser A mallard Shadows announcing Nature’s inhabitants Shadows giving pause And cause to look up Shadows obscuring light Shadows present with us always Especially known on sunny days Shadows Cast by the green leaved canopy of the maple Cooling, giving place for rest Shadows Present on sunny days and moon filled nights Shadows of ourselves Holding truth and pain Maybe secrets unknown to even self Shadow self Containing mysteries Keys to knowledge Of fully human self Shadow self Our darker side Maybe Shake hands with shadow Embrace, welcome Acknowledge Our shadows Intimate parts of who we are Always present whether seen or not. Maybe, if we truly see them It will give us pause It will give us cause To look Up And understand.
Crumbs for the Journey
