This piece of writing goes back to 2008. I wrote this during a time in my life where I really wanted to understand the changes that had happened around me.
It was the first time I discovered the healing powers of writing.
Hope you all like it.

I look at places I’ve been before,
And see the shadows of what once lived there.

The shadow of a figure that once breathed, laughed and loved.

The light flashes capturing a moment never to be repeated.
Dark corners, numbness and grief were all that was felt.
Three elements which I’m replacing with prayers and incense as a life lesson of everything that has passed.
