The Silence
Shadkow
Lonely moments are solitude’s shadow.
What sun
forgoes the opportunity to play
with its light and
cast darkness
between rays?
Sitting quietly I
bask daily
in his glow
but today
he plays hide and go seek.
Mellow moments
slither up like a snake.
I stand in rapt stillness.

“The heart has all the space it needs for compassion, but the ego doesn’t.” — JoAnna Hardy
He found that language did not even penetrate this realm, although language seemed to spill out of it like a new river gushing out of a mountain bedrock. He experienced himself in deep contact with everything around him and the self that he felt himself to be was fluid and continuous with this everything. There was no separation nor even the possibility of separation. There was only an ongoing flowing and he was part of it and he was it and it was everything.” — Steve Gallegos, Dream Visits: Stories for the Inner Child, vol.3
