Poem Shards
There Was Light
 
There was light.
   There were the shadows made by the light.
   And there was the dancing of the shadows
    which cooresponded to the dancing of the flame.

  If I can only see the shadows,
     like all that I do is just me
       crying out from a dream
    'boo hoo hoo.  I want to wake up
       and be in your arms.' . . .
              I ponder not knowing the rest of 'if only',


  Not realizing that I never did leave them,
    that this is, in fact, a dream.
  I am deep within it, I call it 'this life' and,
    in fact, I am firmly
      in your arms.

   I just can't wake up to realize it fully.
