In the Shadows

In the Shadows

 

In the shadows

She always hid.

Tucked inside

Was her heart’s wish.

 

She saw the sun indeed,

As it shone ever bright.

It was there, she knew,

For it was ever in her sight.

 

The sun called to her,

Illuminating her dreams.

An ever-present source,

Showing her what could be.

 

The more attention she paid

To the sun’s light,

The less she noticed the grey

In the shadows of her life.

 

Letting the sun’s power penetrate her heart,

It did its work.

Soon, the shadows fled, she was no longer afraid,

As the sun shone evermore.

 

She rejoices in the power,

And will always know

That faith casts out fear,

Like the sun in the shadows.

Wonderful and beautiful shared dear Melinda.
"She rejoices in the power,
And will always know

Like the sun in the shadows."
