Shadows
Around a glittered lake I stroll,
its water flecked with spots of peach.
Specks of light that whisper warm,
the dreams of homes that live there, each.
The glowing hue I follow round,
but stopped by something soft.
I lift my head, my face, my eyes
to the figure before me, lost.
A halo of watery moon light,
hangs about its head.
"I am but a lonely shadow",
is what the stranger said.
Filled with disbelief I feel,
my heart contract with fright.
The dust path billows beneath leather boots,
twirling away from the sight.
A darkened arm curls around my own
and the bitter wind be stills.
"Fear not" the shadow whispers
like the wind amongst the hills.
Enclosed by warmth a sudden,
a fluttering appears.
Transported to the woods above,
just this befriended darkness near.
Hours dance about the night
as sheltered secrets I am told.
Warmth engrosses all around
whilst the mellow evening grows but old.
Sunlight creeps into the sky
and new love begins to fade.
"Find me not by morning,
only drifting behind the shade."
