Yellow Shoes In the Darkness
Walking through the land of shadows, wearing my yellow shoes
With each and every step, I created color and lovely hues
The shadows started retreating as colour permeated the ground
Out of the shadowy darkness I heard a most horrible sound
"You sir do not belong here so I command you to go away
You are in the land of shadows, you must listen to what I say!"
I kept on moving forward not sure what I would see
Where was the voice coming from? I looked behind a tree
Light and color expanded, to the dark sky it did rise
The entity that so scared me was revealed before my eyes
As my shoes banished the darkness, the entity was reduced to tears
Without the aid of shadows he could't tap into my fears
As I reached down to touch him I told him he was safe
He looked up with such confusion as I gazed upon his face
"Are you here to destroy me? Have you come to take me away?
There is a purpose for shadows they create hope for brighter days."
I heard what he was saying, yes shadows have a reason
In order for spring to come, we need a darker season
So I removed my yellow shoes, watched as the shadows returned
It was time to head for home with this strange lesson I had learned
