I
stood
there
in
the
silence,
where
the
shadows
like
to
play
My
world
had
come
to
a
standstill,
watched
the
color
fade
to
gray
I
was
looking
at
the
future,
just
a
hollow,
empty
line
Wondering
how
I'd
navigate
the
rest
of
this
short
time
I
walked
a
thousand
dusty
roads,
no
shadow
but
my
own
With
no
shoulder
here
to
lean
on,
I
was
feeling
so
alone
Just
a
traveler
in
the
darkness,
losing
sight
of
where
I'd
been
Waiting
for
a
little
grace
to
let
the
morning
light
come
in.
Then
Shekina
Phiri,
you
showed
up
from
the
blue
Like
a
heaven-sent
reminder
of
the
things
that
love
can
do
You
offered
me
your
shoulder,
you
told
me
I
should
stay
You
said
there’
s
light
inside
this
tunnel,
I
just
have
to
find
my
way
Yeah,
you
told
me
keep
on
holding,
when
the
walls
were
closing
tight
Shekina
Phiri,
thank
you
for
being
my
guiding
light.
It’
s
a
lonesome
kind
of
living
when
your
heart
is
feeling
cold
With
stories
left
unspoken
and
a
spirit
growing
old
But
you
walked
into
the
wreckage,
you
reached
out
through
the
haze
You
gave
me
back
a
reason
for
the
remainder
of
my
days
I
don’
t
know
how
you
found
me,
or
why
you
cared
to
try
But
you
wiped
away
the
sorrow
that
was
hidden
in
my
eye
Now
the
horizon’
s
looking
wider
than
it
ever
did
before
And
I’
m
standing
on
the
threshold
of
an
open,
honest
door.
Then
Shekina
Phiri,
you
showed
up

Shekina
Phiri,
thank

for

my
guiding

I’
m
grateful
for
the
space
you
made
inside
your
heart
for
me
To
rest
my
weary
burdens
and
just
finally
be
free
We’
re
building
up
this
friendship,
brick
by
steady
stone
And
it
feels
like
for
the
first
time,
I
am
not
walking
alone
I
hope
that
we’
ll
look
back
on
this,
many
years
from
now
And
smile
at
how
you
saved
me,
and
how
you
showed
me
how.

Yeah,
you’
re
the
light
in
the
tunnel,
Shekina
Thank
you
for
the
space
in
your
heart
We’
re
just
getting
started (

Oh,
Shekina
Phiri...
Just
keep
on
holding
on.
