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
