The Other Side

I watch the shadows between the dark and the light I watch to see if something is there, at the edge of the night I hear echoes of voices, so clear as to say Be careful young Master, beware how you play With breath held close, not a moment of fear One step, then another, out into the clear The shadows veil lifted, a shimmering light abounds The echo of voices, louder, resonating the sounds We welcome the willing, we welcome the strong This is your place, your time, you belong
