Shadows
There are shadows where the sun stops
There are shadows in the sky.
There are shadows from the moonlight.
I make shadows when I cry.
"Are you scared of all the shadows?"
No- the shadows cause no fear.
They are gentle- understanding
I think the shadows care.
They chase away the sadness
They hide us from the light.
"They are only shadows darling!"
But the shadows win the fight!
I feel safe within the shadows
The darkness is my friend.
I feel warmth from it's dank greyness
The cool black has no end.
"And when the light covers the spaces..."
I won't tell it.
"You can't win."
"The shadows will fade away.
They won't linger for your pleasure
They won't stay around to play
The shadows will not help you dear!
They cannot win your fights
They aren't your saving grace
They can't be your handsome Knight.
Do not look to the shadows
The light pierces their veil
It takes away their blackness
It cuts through their cold embrace.
The shadows always falter
They cannot calm your pain.
I know you've missed your father
But.."
I don't know his name.
