Love in the Shadows

Love in the Shadows

Once, I was a shadow, unseen by all, 

His love found me, and I could hide no more.

In the shadows, he was my guiding light, 

His love chased away the darkest night.

Now, in the spotlight, for all to see, 

My heart belongs to him, 

and I'm happy as can be.

He found me when I was all alone,

 Now, his love is the place I call home.

Invisible or seen, it doesn't matter anymore, 

With him, my heart's never felt so sure.

Your entire poem is beautiful, your heart happy than was... but even more.

'He found me when I was all alone,
Now, his love is the place I call home.
Invisible or seen, it doesn't matter anymore,
With him, my heart's never felt so sure.'

Those words are true treasure.. your heart must sing to the heavens at the thought of him!

The mystery in this poem is the he. This is what makes it so wonderful as it can be taken for a lover, God, or one's own sense of self and confidence. A mesmerizing write

Now I can come out of the shadows, see the light, but only with him.... he has given me the love that I crave... I have found a new home, his home where we can both see the light, no more shadows....Very well crafted...
Warmly, B
