Shadows

November 1, 2012
Shadows dance across my vision; Turning, twirling, taunting. Leaping with perfect precision. Their every move is daunting. They keep pace with my thoughts. They will not subside their moving; Jumping moving beating. My ignorance they are proving. With my own heart they are competing. There is not enough room. The world trembles with anticipation; Shakes, quakes, thunders. Becoming one with all creation, Covering up all of my blunders. They are shadows of my imagination. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
