shadow

The Shadow

Shadow of light that holds me still
in a wondrous and deafening repose
and burns like acid through my soul
in reminiscence of thoughts I chose

Oh tell me of what secret shroud
should soar through the blundering mind
and carefully twist what thoughts still exist
in the meandering tempos of time.

And reach for lightly and reach for dear
what hopes stand starlit on cliffs far and near

and reach for deeply and wish for more
that wonders in lostly and craves for its store

But lost in what image we think we perceive
that's twisted with time as we beg with our knees.

And hope in our secrets we'll find something more
something still lost on fragrant's sweet shore

So sweet shadow I wish you to know
I carry deep dreams in hopes that I dare
find in your presence a soul that would shine,
a light beyond hopes, beyond dreams, beyond time.
