Shadow of life 11/19/84

Shadow of life, you have returned
The night I welcome for its warmth
Be strong, facing what must be

Shadow, you have given me much
Yet what can I do in return
I reach out, but you move back

Shadow, shadow of life, thank you
Travel on, shower the world with yourself
You have returned what I though I had lost

Shadow I look to the future
Your presents has renewed a spirit
That would soon have perished

Mary Hauck

Discovering 11/19/84

I am discovering within me
  a person I did not know existed
She seeks a road that is dangerous
  the stream of passion is hard to cross
Currents swirl and she swims with them
  knowing which way they pull

She runs to the edge and spreads her wings
  untryed and death awaits below
The unknown is a head and she greets it
  with glowing eyes and open arms
I accept her, for she is the hidden me
  I will fly as she flys.

Mary Hauck
It feels good to be writting again!
