Your Shadow trails around you,

slow as smoke, collecting your secrets.

Old folks say a shadow’s not just light’s child —

it’s your spirit trailing home.

You can’t deceive it,

but you can feed it.

You can ignore it, but it’s better to

speak to it sweet, like a lover.

Because like a lover, it walks beside you.

It knows the truth in your gait.

It exhales what you inhale.

It is your soul's desire.

So hold your shadow’s hand,

and give it a kiss.

Fear not it’s intimate knowing,

And embrace your full self.

Cousin!

I survived the rapture, and all i have to show for it is this podcast episode.
