The World Of Shadows When you died I was lost in a parallel world of shadowsMy heart felt like it had been pierced by poison arrowsI was paralysed as Grief was gripping me My world was so changed that I couldn't seeI could hardly breathe as the pain was so badI had no strength as I felt so sadWhy, I asked Death through tear stained eyesI screamed at the shadows, but no one repliedSlowly my eyes refocused through my sorrowsI saw a speck of light glint through the shadowsWho are you, I asked the lightI'm Love the light said, I was always with you in this plightLove took hold of Grief's hand Love said, let me explain so that you'll understandGrief is born of me, Grief is a part of meWe walk hand in hand as we're related you seeLove took my hand and said now let's all walk together The path has been softened as it's been scattered with feathersThese are a gift that your loved one has sent to ease your painUntil one day you're both reunited againLove said as we walk you will see lots of doorsEach one contains a memory of yoursWe can enter each room and stay as long as you need toLook at the visions and talk about them as this will help youAs I entered each room, I felt someone else was thereBoth Love and Grief said it's your loved one as their spirit is everywhereAs I left each room a new world started to unfoldI saw a locked door in the distance and the world didn't feel as coldI looked again, then asked what's behind the locked doorGrief and Love said that door is your future if you want to exploreIt's up to you if you wish to open it as you hold the keyI said I'm only going through the door if my loved one's spirit comes with meLove said don't you see they're always with you as you're connected for all eternityNow in this world of shadows what will be will beBut when I open the final door is up to meArt images
