Light and Shadow



You still want to be with me, you say..
Even at the moments where sorrow and pain overcomes me
Like a shadow covering parts of my heart
how can I explain, maybe it's just a doorway to something beyond this
maybe it's just an opening to the other side of paradise
still can't see sometimes, you know
where rainbows dance in the divine light
and where the stars alined in their brilliance, like tiny beats
leading the way to the arms of eternity
where the moon and the sun walk together in perfect harmony
where the day and night no longer exist
it's just one brilliant light, shimmering in this exquisite performance
where the mountains, rivers, the oceans, come together
come in the up most magnificent way simply in it's own beauty
creating the golden threads of the Universe
in one wholeness of the wheel in constant motion.
Light and shadow
Can you see, can you really see, can you understand,
In the light and shadow.
