Hiding In The Shadows Up in flames, there goes your dreams. Wave to them! One last farewell. The bittersweet addiction of hate slowly takes you over. A fire of rage starts to build up inside, formed from an ember of desire and longing. When you thought the journey was over, a new one began. You walk along a broken highway, invisible to the people passing by. Sidetracked into a forest, a whisper chanting your name. The branches above make it dark and the the woods with shadows, but shadows never bothered you, they seemed to comfort you in a way the sun never could. You walk straight, but the whisper is all around you, making it impossible to pin point it's location. The shadows begin to darken as the trees around you thicken. You walk for hours, the path gets harder. No longer sure the time of day, or night for that matter, for the growth around you is just so thick. You stop, for the darkest shadow is right in front of you, and it sounds like the whisper is coming from it. You walk forward into it, for the calling is irresistible. And what you find made everything worth while. For there, hiding in the shadows all along, was Hope. Sometimes #life takes us through the darkest shadows because it knows that's where Hope hides, waiting to be found.
