the shadows talk to me
they tell me of their land

of feasting on the light
and walking sapphire sand

their beautiful onyx darkness
that waltzes starlight balls

that glistens in the corners
and frolics in the halls

they sing to me of silence
of peace in which to roam

of leaving things you’ve lost
and sparkling paths to home

we sail to the forgotten
they haunt my thoughts no more

but I am with you always
dancing shadow on the floor
