casting shadows that tell stories of the new

while the light plays with the waving trees
i hear the wind that moves us all

and read the stories cast by the shadows

shadows are not always behind the object
yet it often feels that way
history is not repeating
it is announcing the future in ways that might be understood.
just like the shadows, the shadows are not always dark and evil
you'd give it all up for some shadow in a desert day.

shadows can be more than just the black light deprived spaces
they can be shelter and can be a place of hiding
they can provide clarity and visability when the light blinds you

the trees move and the wind tells stories while the shadows animate
and enlighten the winds story
they provide more than they take
but yet
it is the shadow that often takes the blame
for most dare not to point to the light and say
"Stop blinding me with that painfull light"
eyes grow accustom to the dark, but never to the light
ever in need to refocus, and thus, like the mind
have a hard time to find peace and solace
a hard time to evaluate, cause the light is like the high sea
ever pushing and shoving and never giving you a moments rest.

the shadows can be your friend
why won't you let them

trees are good story tellers when the wind pushes them
see the branches wave at you, like a friend waves at you
to becon you to come by.

the play is near silent
but then again
you can always listen for the wind
the leaves and small creatures that know when it is story time

they tell you the new
that what is to come
like the clouds that drift by
like frosted breath
of some one who tells you a story in the cold winter air

some one is telling you some thing
mama is calling with all she can
while we too often just don't listen
don't see
don't care.

i am glad to see some do
it fills me with hope and love
barely enough to get me through
but it does do the trick

mama is calling
here shadow is telling things
you probably don't wanna know.
not because you need not to know
but because you failed to listen in the first place
and you did not do any thing with her words

she is calling
and i know she has gotten some attention, and yet
do you really understand what she is trying to tell ?

never chase shadows, listen and watch them
figure out what they try to say
some are simple
some are fun
some tell of the end of the day
while others
the end of day.

listen to what mother has to say
