Of what ventures the shadow’s ploy for if it were naught that dark hour that steals our breath and steps employ kid ourselves be, fears empower ’Tis distress, a word elders use of what ventures the shadow’s ploy I play naught; black ink stains the hews as it leaves the path drained of joy Let us make our travels less coy and brave ourselves from stillness’ gloom of what ventures the shadow’s ploy yield soulless shades of floating doom Rally of noise around the curb as jitters tinker like a toy as we danced brightly undisturbed of what ventures the shadow’s ploy.
