a shift in the clouds and a cloak unfolds
rich velvet black the established remoulds
pinpricks of light the darkness through peers
forming a beam that enraptures and steers
towards timeless travel in worlds yet unseen
frees the mundane and reveals the pristine
self that’s within, that you’ve hidden away
caught up in ties of old guilt and dismay
now bask in the presence of grace and accept
freedom from sins that away have been swept
rich velvet black the established remoulds
pinpricks of light the darkness through peers
forming a beam that enraptures and steers
towards timeless travel in worlds yet unseen
frees the mundane and reveals the pristine
self that’s within, that you’ve hidden away
caught up in ties of old guilt and dismay
now bask in the presence of grace and accept
freedom from sins that away have been swept

there is freedom in your words, when we allow ourselves to let go of those ties and accept it..
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect poem and image after my morning meditations.
ReplyDeleteForgiving oneself and moving on to "worlds yet unseen" is definitely the height of freedom. Lovely words, even better because they are written with love and received with grace.
ReplyDeleteAcceptance of oneself is such grace. Being accepted by others is truly mercy. Thanks for this Shadow.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of timeless travel in worlds yet unseen. Who knows when that will occur?
ReplyDeletethe sense is transforming and I love when you do this...
ReplyDeleteshadow this is absolutely brilliant. i really love this and you picked the perfect picture for this.
ReplyDeleteyou have a gift for making something so difficult, so beautiful...
ReplyDeletethank you,
Mesmerizing...
ReplyDeleteI feel so heavy this morning, and feel this is the heavy curtain that serves me better as a blanket. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteVery very beautiful, Shadow. I see you and I were on somewhat of the same wavelength... :-)

Sometimes we could all do with that "swept clean" feeling. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty, Shadow!
ReplyDeleteOh yes no more sins...what's the aim any more...I accept this and i forgive myself...amen
ReplyDeleteI like the image of unfolding clouds. Nice one that!

ReplyDeleteI feel liberation here. Well done!
ReplyDeletePerfect ending. We all need this...
ReplyDeleteDon't know how you have the time to read as much as you do.. and comment. But thanks.
ReplyDeleteDo you generate rhyme so quickly that your mind can't stop sometimes? (happened to me)
Glad to read you almost daily.
these words just speak right to my heart, "self that's within, that you've hidden away, ... now bask in the presence of grace... sins that away have been swept, Amen! Thanks, dear Shadow!
ReplyDeleteV., you do not have to be so PERSONAL, with me DO you? Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVAH, your posts several times this week and last have--unknown to you--hit me right between the eyes.
You are amazing, no matter what NMW!
The past will set us free if we understand it!!
ReplyDeleteReally brilliant Shadow
Hugs from the snow covered one;-D
Love the grace that transforms... I believe in that too.
ReplyDeleteI like it all, but love your titles
ReplyDeleteI love 'a' my shadow
I love 'cloak' love shadow
I love 'folds' and 'uns' and 'ings' and 'ons'
but mostly I love how you do
Lovely shadow
Serendipity again...we must be in each others head.
ReplyDeleteOld dismay...I like that concept.
ReplyDeletebreaks in the clouds do reveal what has been hidden...
ReplyDeleteYou handle the words in a really beautiful and fluid way, it is always nice to read this kinds of poems.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that we should all follow the advice and free ourself from our useless ties.
Be well my friend
the photo is entrancing for sure, hopefully this cloak worn in a place where time does not exist when worn erases all sins remaining pure..
ReplyDeleteHUGS luv U
