Out of the Shadows of Time

my luck shines
as bright as the light
of a thousand stars
as i move
out of the shadows of time
finding a new lease on life
in the spaces
between dreams

i feed
the hungry child
in the imagined
universe
of ambition
populated
by the angels
of uncertainty

yet, the power of love
ripples
on the fabric
of the earth
winding her way
into my humble heart
clearing my vision
