At dusk when my shadows retreat

At dusk when my shadows quit me,
That’s when hundred arrows hit me.

So far some faceless folks fooled me,
My own close to heart now cheat me.

A feeling heart hails thee, my friend,
Come heart to heart, why audit me?  

Come, pry unto my nightlong dreams,
Thence, for what I say credit me.

Dawn dawns, if dream deprived I wake,
Daylong your reveries greet me.
