Hollow Shadow

Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow With your footsteps beat of my heart return Out of sight you form in me your shadow. When from yonder chilling northern winds blow Congealed clouds don’t remove the shroud on sun Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow. You walk on sunburst dawn in my meadow With dream colors mystique angel you turn Out of sight you form in me your shadow. Collapsed footprints on sand I can’t follow Your trail I won’t ever waver to yearn Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow. Sunshine blazed sky makes my lone mind to glow In the fiery passion you stoke I burn Out of sight you form in me your shadow. Under twilight I stride on life fallow Trail of frozen tear drops you can’t discern Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow Out of sight you form in me your shadow.
