Shadows

Under the rays of light, shadows linger.

Under the cloak of darkness, we now reside.

We are the ones who once glimmered.

Now we are the ones who must subside.

You ask where the shadows hide.

We commute behind the glistening sun and its shimmering tide.

You will see us if you try.

You will sense us behind you.

Or see us out of the corner of your eye.

You will understand one day.

Will you join us in the shadows?

You will see why we hide.

We are the ones some have forgotten.

We are the ones who were once alive.
