Power Stays in the Shadows - Poem

The following poem you are about to read came to me late one night this week. I had many ideas flowing around in my head, many lines and concepts that I could work with, but nothing concrete enough to feel like I could capture the idea in a poem.

One idea, however, suddenly resurfaced and began to bug me. This idea was to write a poem based on a piece of music I heard recently called "Power Stays in the Shadows."" I decided to give it a shot and as I wrote, the concept began to take on its shape, until the finished piece was in front of me.

I hope you enjoy it,

All the best,
Yitzy Schweitzer.

Power Stays in the Shadows - Poem

The visions are set,
The dream has been planted,
The world sleeps now,
Because we're only getting started.
Oh, and until then,
Oh, until then,

Let them dream,
Let them drift away,
Onto the oncoming sunrise,
Of a brand new day,
Taking it one day,
One day, one day at a time.

When the time has come,
You will understand,
You will realise,
The true strength of my hand,
But, not just yet,
Soon, is when you will know,
Until that day, my power,
Will stay in the shadows,

Behind a secret door
Lies a golden chest,
Housing my powers,
At their very best,
Oh, their just waiting,
Oh, their just waiting, to shine, and spread their light.

Patiently,
One good deed at a time,
I will build my dreams,
To the blueprint height,
Led in His way,
Only in His way,

Only on the path,
He set for me,
For my powers to develop,
In glorious harmony,
Yes, there have been hardships,
Yes, there was some sorrow,
But my powers, waited,
In the shadows.

Oh, it's ready,
The dreams realised,
Built to perfection,
Right before my eyes,
Opening the chest,
The powers are waiting,
To come forth from,
The shadows.
