Shadow Self

My shadow marks and fades

Much like my sense of self

Sleepy it blinks

As clouds drift by

No shape of “me” is left

    - You new post, Sanctuary Lost, on your own blog was wonderful. The raw vulnerability was moving. I was right there with the one screaming (you?) I commented on your page, but I am sure you know (although perhaps in a different context) that I know this scream, those tortured nights, the loss of sanctuary. I think that was my favorite of yours thus far. It felt…well…real. Thank you for sharing it.
      
      I am inspired.
