Shadows of Life
by Deviled Jess on Oct.16, 2007, under Archives
Clouds in flight,
Stars in twilight,
Breeze through meadows,
Life through sorrows.
People walking everywhere,
Singing and laughing fills the air,
Joy and happiness everywhere,
A dark corner, someone’s there!
In the scorching heat of deserts,
In the drenching heat of tropics,
In the freezing storms of arctics,
The shadow is always alert.
From heaven to hell,
To the core and back,
How daunting the experience,
The shadow is always there.
A whisper, a shout,
Whenever there’s a crowd,
The shadow will go,
And everything it shall know.
Barred from speech, it weeps,
Barred from sight, it sighs,
Barred from all things nice, it cries,
A shadow can only fly, when it dies.
When all has perished,
The shadow shall vanish,
Its sole purpose accomplished,
Its life pledged to service.
