Shadow

Shadow

   From vantage morning of my dreams;
   I counted my length of days,
   Heretofore on earth, rooted the strength of manly yob,
   In pursuance of transient dreams,
   The ebbing shadows spur
   The Everest i would scales,
   To amass the fortune i must astride;
   And battles the armoured Goliaths to victory,
   Bestowed by kings and lords, in  golden palaces,
   Medals of Emeralds and adorable princess;
   And a crown with minaret of peacock feathers,
   Basking in prideful bondage,
   But at the drowsy dusk of my realism;
   Dreams are made in heaven,
   Creeping shadows are made of void,
   Void is nothingness.
