Original poem from my Collection "With Each Breath" ~
Shadows & Light
I carelessly swept my emotions under the rug
and left my feelings out to dry.
I ran from myself
until I ran out of breath.
My footsteps became hollow
and my mind empty, too full of things
I was told would make me happy.
Parts of my life that I kept hidden,
neatly folded and tucked away
within the cool dark recesses,
began to attract my attention.
When I finally stepped inside to look around,
I saw the darkness was nothing to fear,
saw the shadows turn into light and disappear.
I began to weep, wailing in the safety of my room,
unashamed of the depth of my sadness and despair,
sobbing for my wounds, for everyone’s, and everything
and for no reason at all.
Sometimes, I wept openly in the arms of others
who began shedding their own fears.
Now, late at night, when the moon comes calling and shadows fall,
I find stars filling my eyes instead of tears.
And, each new day, when the sun again rises, filling the morning sky,
I find sweet rest in its healing, radiant light.

Leave behind the shadows and walk towards the light! Just let go.....Her sad eyes, her beautiful face, her smile...... Trying to put pieces together in a rhythm of her own. The art, the poem....the artist has wiped away from her soul, the dust of everyday life! One of your best creations, Brooks!
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
I loved creating this soft pastel, Preeti! Her eyes are not sad, just caring and loving. Thank you so much for your beautiful comments!
Sabina Pamfili
I am so moved that I feel compelled to ask: please the poem at the bottom of the description, is this the entire poem? and it was written by you? I am so emotional right now that I feel like crying. It is way beyond any words and that includes of course your beautiful piece of Art. Oh Brooks, how very lovely. How gifted you are.
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Sabina! Yes, it is an full poem...and written by me...from a collection I wrote. Thank you SO much for looking more deeply and feeling what you say. You are very kind...and I appreciate you!
