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
