Take me into forever

I have split the atom of my mind’s eye,
the pieces lay before me

looking back on it always makes it seem easier than it was,
and looking forward always seems harder than it is

as I came to understand the components,
I discarded the pieces I’d prefer not to carry

words can’t describe the tonal peace I feel in my soul,
I now have direction, clarity, focus.

I stopped running away from the wolf chasing me, hiding from me in my shadow.
he is now my sled dog, taking me into forever.

There is no sense of being afraid of your shadow,
because your shadow is you,
and knowing oneself, is the door to everything.
