The Shadows

The shadows spread across
her breastplate made of gold
and darkness subtly swims into the night,

doubt plays with her passions
with a gloom that's sevenfold
and a hazy film attempts to blind her sight.

Pain and aggravation
removes serenity
so her life's blood turns into a muddy stew,

but courage and tenacity
she holds deep in her soul
so there's not a lot the shadows can even do.

The bright sphere that rules the night's
shadowy attempt to teach,
the shadows to destroy and ruin her day,

but, her aura, pure and bright
shines through everything
she knows love and grace, and also how to pray.

Truth be told, life is bold
and passion her ally,
so forever, hers is a Mosaic, fair

a tapestry delight
with the threads all shadow-free
creates a fate that will never, ever tear.
