I am traveling through
A valley of shadows
That are heavy of soul,
Weighty of spirit,
Shadows that are only partially seen,
But powerfully felt.
They press in from all sides,
Making it difficult to breathe,
Harder still to keep putting
One foot in front of the other.
Common sense says to stop and rest awhile,
Wait until the sun breaks through
And the shadows grow lighter.
But this is such an oppressive, uninviting place.
I am afraid to sojourn here,
Afraid those heavy shadows
And patterns of darkness
Will crush me within and without.
I need to know
Where to find shelter
And that I am not alone
During this internal night.
