Night Flight

Show me now my shadow friend
What no one else may see
Your mystery gift from ancient times
That brings lost days to be

Magic made from secrets lost
Gives flight to travel far
Through years and age we soar along
Past moon and sun and star

When once we land in history’s lap
There Shakespeare and his cast
We’ve traveled through the fog of time
And slipped into the past.
