Like Shadows On a Wall

Like Shadows on a Wall

By Elton Camp

Their shapes and sizes we know
But few of the details, though

The shadows we see move about
The substances is there, no doubt

People dance through life, hidden
Access to their hearts is forbidden

We mustn’t reveal what is inside
That, once told, cannot be denied

Thoughts and feels we don’t dare
With any other people to share

Death comes and takes us away
Forever safe our secrets will stay
