shadows of my past

Every night -
I watch shadows on the wall
Sometimes I see glimpses of my past;
Some haunt me, some taunt me -
And some make me smile.

Some nights -
I lay in bed, awake and restless
Shadowed thoughts and memories
Hovering like dark clouds over my present
Threatening to ruin the future.

Some nights
I lay in bed, my heart rejoicing
The blessed moments of my life
Played on the screen of my mind loop
Discarding the threats to my future.
