Shadows

Shadow Stalker, cold and gray,
Bend my eyes to find your shape 

Hiding from the naked light,

Secrets kept beneath your cape.

Would you steal my sanity? 

Leave me here to quake and quell?

Lead me down a narrow path
Into the darkest pits of Hell?

Such a fine and fragile line
Separates you from the light.
Desperate to be known to none,
Always running from a fight.

Play the reuse of your deception
While your stealth divines my fate.
Help me find your dark agenda
Before it is forever late.

Patience serves the waiting throngs
And hope is never all or none. 

For every place a shadow falls

Somewhere there must be sun.
