    Standing in the Shadows


    by The Quail 1957, Dec 22, 2008

    About the inner child in all of us.
    Standing in the shadows,
    I know not what to say,
    I take all my feelings,
    I hide them far away,
    Inside my heart,
    There is this place,
    I go to all the time,
    While sitting there in silence,
    Answers to my questions,
    I always try to find,
    Although you cannot see me,
    You know I’m always near,
    Deep inside your heart,
    You feel me,
    Yes I am here,
    That feeling of calmness,
    That floods your worried soul,
    I’m that place of peace,
    You always know to go,
    I stand within the shadows,
    Near and never far,
    Giving love and support,
    No matter where you are,
    Yes, I am your inner child,
    I’ve been with you for life,
    I remind you dearest,
    That you must always fight,
    I whisper softly in your ear,
    As you sleep and walk in dream,
    I bring to you the insight,
    And glimpses you now gleam

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
