“Finding Balance: Light & Shadow”

Poem & Meditation by Ebony T. Perry © 2020

I shake off the fall, to find my feet…

At the crossroads of where past and present meet.

Slowly come into focus, into color-

into grounded, present feeling…

Sometimes the only thing holding us back from our own light,

is through the cave of understanding… through compassionate love of one’s raw shadowy being.

This thought is freeing…

Eyes gently shift, I am reflected in the looking glass-

Removing the veil for the sadness to pass.

Invite the light to flow in…

Love’s patient ear and solution ultimately wins.
