May the sunshine Caress the harmony Of your soul To harness The similar traits displayed Placing bets squarely Upon the eye-shine Lost into costly greyness But loving shadows Living from the clouds The depressive but striking Long desired passion Of days in the sun Producing the clouds to cast A darkness over- Piercing the eyes Lashing into oblivion But loving timeless Feel of shadow Love glowing towards me Leaping, lapping, grinding Never sad – crushed Like diamond dust Sparkles, indestructible But still sanded down Towards the shards Of her tenderness lost Within my soul I now harbor The sunshine days of clouds Shadows define me Russell Sivey

Just adore this wonderful write, my friend, from beginning to end you held me captive ... and I so relate, as I have lived in the shadows for many years, taking spiritual sustenance where I can. This is superb ... enjoyed it very much. I hope you are well, and your wife - it's been a while since I heard from you. Blessings, Buddy! :-)

This runs the gambit of emotions. Skillfully expressed and a true pleasure to read.

A bittersweet discourse of emotions--feelings of happy and sad --well depicted Russell!

This is really deep, but to me it sounds like a sad poem and that you are in a sad mood... You expressed this very well in your own unique style..
