Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Shadows-Collab

Our shadows were so restless
As we passed from room to room
They pretended to be living
But each within their tomb

Shrinking a little bit each day
As the sun shown bright above
With them a piece of our love slipped away
Out on our quest for love

The days of our younger shadows
Dancing in each days light
Love,and laughter floating on the breeze
Until day turned into night

Slowly burdened by lifes troubles
Our shadows could dance no more
Only to become darkend spots
Fading away on the floor

Now death's time,and space have taken you
Leaving me only memories of your face
The shadow that was once part of you
Is now gone without a trace
