Behind The Shadow
By Ike Aroh
Sometimes the farthest distance is so near
When the days are counted
And the seasons measured
In the time value moments
Midnight decisions are weighed
In the heat at noonday
Behind the shadow of darkness
Is nothing else
But the road
Between Life and Death
As we walk the Path destined
In trials and crucibles forged
The state of man
Is revealed
In the choices
That may transform the
Prince to a goat
And or, the shepherd to a king
