Searching Shadows
I searched dark shadows in the night's dim light
and found loneliness hidden in the dark
the moon rose covered by thin clouds in flight
silently traveling its nightly arc
This companion listened though never heard
as words formed from the curled lips of sorrow
questioned reasons became so unassured
they quickly lost answers for tomorrow
The stillness of time has quietly grown
in a bargain with shadows that surround
as thunder rolls across the soul alone
storms begin to overwhelm and confound
with sadness and bile's emotional plight
I searched dark shadows in the night's dim light
