A shadow
Passed
Then it was
Gone

But wait
It's here

Was it
The eclipse
A passing
Of the moon?

It brought forth
Memories
To soon
Still borne

Yet
The presence
Of one long 
Past

A shadow
O'er those
Who felt
The presence

Of her
Who
On us
Cast

A playful 
Image
Light
When 
Darkness
Fell

Always
In our
Path
Leading onward

N'er looking 
Back

Look 
Close your eyes
In the shadows
There.
