To Walk a Shadowed Path by ~ladywillowraven:iconladywillowraven:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Spiritual > Open


Pained and longing
searching for truth,
I hear it whispered
through thunder, rain,
and dark forests deep.

Ambling shadows
at the edge of worldly vision
seek me out...
speaking memory,
sharing wisdom.

A black flame lit path
descends towards
seven gates.
To worlds beyond,
forbidden and forsaken.

A ghost pale hand
reaches from the depths
of an inborn void
pulling my spirit,
showing me the way.

Illumination of new beginning
long foretold
by a decade lost friend.
Despair not my teacher,
for my heart has listened well.

Very nice. The phrases are short, but very powerful. Excellent choices of words.. There's a very nice guidance through out the poem, fits right into it perfectly. Also, I don't know if it was intended, but the second stanza almost has an alliteration type thing going on, nice little touch..

Thanks...it wasn't really intentional, but a hissing kind of sound is how I've always idealized shadows as sounding...so it worked out well. Thank you for the comment!
