Poem for 12/27/22 - In the Shadows by Rami Shapiro

In the Shadows

by Rami Shapiro


I live my life in the shadows:

shadows of doubt,

shadows of regret,

shadows of guilt,

shadows of half baked ideas

and overcooked ones.


There is nothing wrong

with living in the shadows.

Living in the dark, however,

is something else.

Living in the shadows

you know there is light.

Living in the dark

you know nothing of light.

Living in the shadows

you can always walk

toward the light.

Living in the dark

there is no light

toward which to walk.

Assist those who

live in the shadows.

Resist those who

live in the dark.
