The Voice of the Shadow Spirit

(Dr. Shakira Nandini, Porto)

In the journey of life, we all go through moments where we face a fear or pain hidden deep within ourselves. It is during these times that a part of us, perhaps tied to a childhood memory or a forgotten desire, begins to pull us towards it. "A Shadow Spirit" is an expression of this inner state, where a restless spirit makes us aware of its existence.

This spirit, seemingly like a shadow, resides in those corners of our lives that we usually overlook. It silently affects our mind, occasionally becoming the source of fear or depression. Through the poet’s voice, this spirit reminds us that we too are lost in darkness and that our souls are also in search of light.

In this writing, the poet attempts to comfort this inner spirit, assuring it that there is no cage or prison, but rather a vast forest of life with space for it. The only condition is that this shadow spirit must maintain balance with the rest of our thoughts and feelings. The poet emphasizes that different emotions dwell in every corner of our mind, and bringing them into harmony is essential for achieving inner peace.

In the end, this piece reminds us of the importance of conversing with our inner fears and shadows, so that we may understand the aspects of ourselves that are often neglected.
