⁣⁣
It does come out sometimes though. ⁣⁣
Creeping into view,⁣⁣
It drapes its gray hues ⁣⁣
Over my soft skin. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Like a blanket,⁣⁣
It may feel warm at first ⁣⁣
But sometimes the blanket gets too hot. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Like at midnight ⁣⁣
when I’m tossing and turning in bed ⁣⁣
And I keep trying to take the blanket off⁣⁣
Detangle myself from my shadow. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And it remains entangled⁣⁣
Around my legs and feet⁣⁣
Attached, unwilling to give ⁣⁣
Like the roots of a sycamore tree.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And one day, I decided to leave it on. ⁣⁣
It grew heavier and heavier at first. ⁣⁣
The temperature of my skin⁣⁣
Growing warmer and warmer. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But this time I laid still. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As if my body was unmovable, ⁣⁣
its roots planted firmly below me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And right as I thought my shadow would eat me whole⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Right when I thought it was too late⁣⁣
and I’d be trapped under its weight forever,⁣⁣
It dissolved. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And its gray hues integrated within my being ⁣⁣
And I felt cooler, calmer, wiser⁣⁣
As if all of the wisdom I’d acquired this lifetime⁣⁣
And all of the lifetimes which came before ⁣⁣
Found its way into my heart. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“I think I’ve done the ‘shadow work.’”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
