Shadows

In bright and glow, I make friends to show,

In darkness, I disappear into the crevices of despair.

In spring, I take flight with my new wings,

In autumn, I withdraw to the house that's my cage.

In the shadows, I live, I breathe, I pray,

From dawn to dusk, from night to day.

Words can't describe what I have to say,

My tongue loosens but falters on its way.

The light steals my vantage, I worry and run,

There's no more shadow, only the sun.

I skip, I turn, I trip, I fall,

Time passes, not willing to stop.

How soon will I find my shadows there?

A question on the lips, my visions blur.
