The Shadow

At The Dawn of My Time
The Light shone so brightly it blinded my sight
But with its warmth and promise of opportunity
I reveled in the notion of optimism and its delight

He lurked behind my back
Staying out of my site, I hardly knew He was there
Silently watching, waiting, looking over my shoulder
But in my youth, I barely had a care

At the Meridiem of My Time
I thrived, as I was powerful and strong
My senses keen, my focus unwavering
I felt invincible and could do no wrong 

I barely gave Him a thought 
I became curious once, but He could not be found 
Then I caught a glimpse of Him … under my feet 
Triumphant, I was sure a new King had been crowned 

But now, in the Twilight of My Time
I struggle to make sense of it all
What once seemed to be victory 
I now see was the pride before the fall 

And now He looms in front of me
Every moment His presence is known
And as those who have gone before me
I know I must face Him alone

As He outstretches His arms
And the last flicker of light is done
His darkness consumes me
And, forever, we are One
