Shadow Clad Surprises

“Man is a substance clad in shadows.”
–John Sterling

 

Wrap me in your shadows love
caress me with your fears
draw out your inner darkness babe
fill me with your tears

 

Draw out my inner light my pet
let it enter your abyss
we’ll create something beautiful
with each passionate kiss

 

be the substance to my being love
be the shadow to my soul
we’ll take what has been broken
build a new artistic whole
— G A Rosenberg

 

I have spoken and created a lot around shadows and identity. But it tends to be a subject of endless fascination for me. One not only of my identity and all its many aspects but that of everyone I meet as well. I love being surprised by something I have never seen in a friend or loved one and perhaps especially in someone I find difficult. There is much truth in the by now cliche that it is the ones we dislike who can teach us the most about ourselves. So when someone whom I dislike shows me something pure and beautiful I melt.
Blessings, G
