The following poems are based on the book by Debbie Ford
"The Dark Side of the Light Chasers" in which she discussed
how we can use and embrace our "dark shadowy side" or our
"negative side" to build self esteem and to feel good about ourselves.
Haiku by Diane Hein
Live well with your shadows
They will make your light
Stand out.
Embracing Our Shadows by Diane Hein
Our shadows dance with us, never far away
Even at midnight long past the bright of day.
Shadows could be our demise if we let them
But rather take firm hold of them at their stem.
Use them wisely, your "dark side" is a big plus
All your shadows have merit to discuss.
See and love yourself well for all who you are.
Weave each part of you into a brilliant star!

The Way Out by Diane Hein
A broken heart has its shadows
Hidden behind the clouds.
Wounds looking for healing
Fears looking for strengths
Anger looking for love.
A bloodstained soul in a maze.
But take my hand
And come with me
We'll go forward
And together we'll find the light.
Time Going By by Diane Hein
Shadows of youth now gone
Days getting shorter on earth's shore
I count the years ahead
They are more numbered than before.
The illustrious lamp of life
Burns much brighter now
It lights my way even more
And gratitude embraces me!
