The Shadows of the Heart

The Shadows of the heart

Sometimes
Nothing stays the same
Where ever you turn
The wind
And its’ song
Can never return

In the shadows
Of the heart
I felt
Its’ bony fingers
Clasping
All of my night

The shadows climbed
I could feel the dread
All I wanted to say
All I have said

I cannot live
In a Shadowland
For my heart
Lives in light
I can give only so much
For I despair of the night
