Shadows of Emotion - Paul White - Bog

Shadows of Emotion is a collection of poetry which touches on subjects that are emotive, poignant and often challenging, possibly controversial, as many poets and writers seldom venture into these realms. My hope is that some of my words will resonate within your mind, stir the passions that lie within your soul and, at the very least, make you feel the depth of emotions that inspired the creation of each line and verse. I have entitled this book Shadows of Emotion because I believe that our shadows are always with us. Sometimes they are right in front of us, dark and prominent in their presence. At other times they are by our side or behind us, faded or shortened, or cast out at length over grey pavement by the evening sun.As our shadows, so are our emotions; constant companions who's presence waxes and wanes as time and life pass. We have no command over either, both being influenced by effects beyond our control.
