In the Shadow

I stand

The power

Flowing

Freely

Through my heart

my hands

I gently raise

My voice

In a plaintiff Cry

To those locked in place

By Past, Present

And what May Be

Look to your hearts

Open your eyes

I think will find

Power

Beauty

Inside

Turn away from

The problems

Endless worries

Step away from society

Into the Night

Succumb

To the gentle

Harmony of the locust's song

Rejoice as the crickets join in

In a symphony of Peace.

Carefree

Let your steps be guided

By the twinkling light

Of the splendid

Stars Above.

Realize that you are a Star Below

As you enter a forrested glade

All masks and personas

Fade........

Until you Stand

Alone

Free

May your light be a beacon

May you go and learn to live

Live to love

This alone is the Power

Of Shadow's Song.
