Shadow

The other side of self
Our fear and our conscience
Our soul and our spirit
Our existing but unknown identity
Our lost touch to the dream world
And the sit of all conciousness


Daily we sleep and wake
Accompanied by our shadow we tarry
And with its presence we accomplished
All that is our due
In our present incarnation


The body is lifeless
When the shadow is gone
For therein lies our true life
And thus our true self


Live and you shall live
Love and you shall be loved
Think good and you shall have good
Save and you shall be saved
Seek peace and you shall have peace
Thus our shadow implored

About this poem:
Our shadow is always the true self but we try as much as possible to hide from it.
