Time by the fire

No one else is listening,
  and I know you want to learn.

Only give a glimmer of the pain,
  otherwise,
   they will not return.

A shadow in the midst of happiness,
  easy to deal with,
     but sorrow overshadowing the light?

That story will have you running.

amen to this...shadows will always block the sun temporarily...but too much for too long...

and we are running.

I guess this falls into my Writing 101 poems. Thank you, as always. Jon.
