My shadow has two forms,
One is of the mind, the other of the heart.
Though I have learned to blend them,
You can often tell them a part.

But just over a year ago,
Something caused a split.
Heart took over mind,
Love caused a mental fit.

Great pain and sorrow thundered,
When heart bested mind,
But now my heart has learned,
It's best if both shadows are combined.

I work now long and hard to repair the rift,
Heart now understands mind's powerful, mental gift.
Never underestimate the power of a shadow,
For both heart and mind follow wherever I go.
