The Shadow Realm

The Shadow Realm Life has been light passes slowly within time Dreams of racing shadows within faint light Some sound off in sweetest songs so sublime Others terrorize jubilantly in the late night Sweet shadows speak of softest love and joy Replaying moments that family held so dear These are fun like a child's favorite toy Never the dark ones that bring deepest fear Night midway often sends its darkest beasts Leaping, screaming and crying shadows abound The scratchers look for human flesh for feasts The criers and moaners play for horrific sound Crawlers move about scarring the bedroom wall While gnashers wail, chatter their teeth loud Bed shakers push it up until its ready to fall The hideous ones show ugliest faces so proud Surviving is calling light of day shadows in Each one forces a dark shadow to quickly flee Those that ease life and are always a friend Bring love, relief and joy that so frees me 07-04-2015
