July 7, 2019 - The Shadows

THE SHADOWS

The Sun comes and searches
looking for His creatures.
It is time for sleep
and hiding from dreams.
Quickly now!  Make haste!
The Shadows steal across the landscape
blackened fingers reaching out
a quest for rebellious wisps of Light
the arrogant pride of the Golden Ones.
Smashed in the forest at night
the Dark grasp
squeezing, siphoning, devouring
then wailing in surprised dismay.
Gleaming in the black mirror
in the still and lifeless pond
corrupted by Light.
