Shadows of Life

I am but a shadow passing through life Substance wanes wandering over barren land The inner essence twists in strife Flickering light casts its familiar glow As I cease to exist and meld within the sand Slipping deeper into the darkness below 2014-April 22

Hello Sandy, this is deep... It reminds me of a candle burning until dim and gone goes the shadow... Enjoyed the fallen soul you display here... love Linda

Welcome to PoetrySoup... Dark and heavy but well written. Reminds me of years gone by when Beatniks wrote such poetry... They are now long gone, but their poetry Existentialist leanings continue on...
