{shadow days}

as i walk through the streets tonight

the world has taken a break

the only guide is a street light

that shows i'm the only one awake

my thoughts wander through my head

like birds chirping in my ear

i feel that i should really be in bed

but the silence is all i hear

the moon hangs low

reflecting off the damp street

it possess an iridescent glow

that replaces the absence of heat

i slowly begin to drift away

as the darkness engulfs me even more

i start to spin and sway

as the night closes its door

the sun emerges from its slumber today

as the moon falls into the sky

i feel that today might be a better day

and not a sad goodbye
