Shadow Dweller

Walking forever among the shadows,

Never quite seen,

But surely always present.

Like a summer morning mist,

Caressing the earth, 

Caring heart surrounding each day.

Like an ever present dream,

Day or night makes no difference,

The feelings dwell within the soul,

Giving rise to hope and joy,

Sometimes in the face of this darkness.

Shadow dweller, 

Content perhaps to know that this place 

Shall remain constant for all time.

Sweet gentle warmer of the soul,

Passion blooms eagerly,

Stretching out over time and distance,

This shadow covers so much,

Heals so much.

Protective embrace,

Help to bring peace to this world.

Fear not the gentle shadow dweller,

For even in the mists of time,

Love holds eternal against the darkness.
