    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

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
