SHADOWS

TROUBLING MEMORIES INVADE MY SLEEP

Dark shadows swirl around me
I am filled with doubt and fear
Half forgotten memories
like a bad dream-reappear

Flickering shadows in the twilight
flash across my worried mind
bringing back unwelcome memories
of a sad and lonely time

I have grown so tired and weary
My heart is filled with despair
I long for the prize that awaits me
for no shadows will be there.
