Carolyn Kemp Poet I do not know?

Dancing Shadows

standing at the crust of life
peeking through dark shadows
that dance and glide
to string guitars and distant drums
shadows
that sneak through the night
playing peek-a-boo
under the pale moonlight
and stars that twinkle
oh so bright
shadows
hiding behind trees
that sway with the breeze
of a silent wind
hiding behind branches
that never bend

afraid to cross over
to the other side
for fear of the shadows 
that dance and glide
yea, though i walk through
the valley of death
evil shadows surround me
i've grown weary of this test
fighting never-ending battles
to be free
i can see the distant light
looming straight ahead
dodging
the shadows of the night
wiping away fear and dread
creeping toward the light
instead

standing in the warmth 
of the light
baptized in its' glory
a wonderful feeling 
of pure delight
i will not look back
at the shadows of the night
