Shadow Song

Shadow Song

Walking where the silence hides,
Shadows linger, side by side,
Every step, they move with me,
Silent ghosts of what will be.

Shadow, shadow, always near,
Whisper low, but loud with fear,
In the dark or in the day,
Shadows never walk away.

Stretching long beneath the sun,
Fading slow when day is done,
Every light will cast its twin,
Shadow shows what lies within.

Shadow, shadow, always near,
Whisper low, but loud with fear,
In the dark or in the day,
Shadows never walk away.

In the night they twist and bend,
Silent watchers to the end,
Part of me, but not my own,
Shadow walks me back to home.

Carry on, both weak and strong,
Forever hums the shadow song.
