Wisdom of Shadows

Wisdom of Shadows

In the shadowed depths of the mind's own making,
Lurk the demons, in silence, our peace forsaking.
Crafted from fear, they rise and they stir,
Mirrors of dread, of all we abhor.

Yet, within the heart's sacred, hallowed halls,
Love's gentle whisper, it beckons and calls.
When fear and love in a tender dance twine,
From their union, reverence does shine.

Embrace the darkness, the demons you meet,
With gratitude, their presence greet.
For in their form, the devil's face clears,
And the path to understanding appears.

But hold in your heart, both fear and love,
For the Almighty watching from heavens above.
The fear of the Lord, a reverent start,
To the wisdom that blooms in a pious heart.

"The only demons out there in the world are of our own making
You bring into the world, that which you fear. You bring into yourself what you love. When love and fear combine reverence is born.
Don’t fear your demons
Thank them and bless them
For they make sense of the devil. Instead fear and love God. For fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom."
