Chased by Shadows
Without true vision I am chased by shadows.
Patterns and rhythms of a long forgotten past
Flow through my present without my recognition.
I don't even see the repeat of my history again,
As it pulls me deeper into the spiral into the pit.
Blinded by my own selfish motives, I walk on unaware.
Then You come along as the perfect mirror of my heart.
Peering, penetrating deeply into my motives and habits,
You see the illusion that I live, as I lie even to myself.
I look into Your perfect mirror, I am shocked to see the truth
Of the manner of man that I have become over the years.
I hide my eyes in shame seeing my nakedness, without excuse.
Exposed by Your gaze, I see myself in truth and clarity.
Now I am left to sift through the dregs of this life of mine.
The falsehoods told to me by myself day after day
No longer deceive me; the Light is on in my life; I can see.
“Now what?” I ask, looking straight into my heart.
Trust in Your care; no longer chased by shadows.
