The Shadow Song

The shadow song: 

Existing, but not alive. 

To live a life without self-awareness and understanding, 

Can never know or be truly alive! 

Not even aware perhaps that they are but only 

Life’s shadows, of where their alternative life should be.

The Shadow Song - in motion — 

I am the darkness in which this world of yours hides in. 

And yet I am only a lonely shadow from the western sky. 

Nothing else is, but I, only I, can exist as the One and 

The All in this space which is everything. 

Not even time itself can touch my gaping void. 

For one must have mind and thought to make motion. 

There is only me, and I shall never be.
