These shadows

a dream scape of ones lost in the past

 

 

These shadows dance in front of me

But for some reason there faces I cannot see

They laugh and play and just melt there time away

But still I do not know who they are

 

I do not fear them

They will not harm

Where from are they sent

Why do they dear such a happy arm?

 

Can they seem me?

Or is there sight obliviously

Clueless t my existence

They are silently insistive

 

My instincts say to watch

But my eyes burn at the mysterious figures

I look, but do no more

As they make their way around the floor

 

Just an empty room

Then and I

“I think I know what they re now”

I say with an unrelieved sigh

 

One has a face!

I swear it just appeared!

A familiar sight

My memories return from flight

 

They are the ones from my past

Ones so dearly missed

But their names are stuck there

They just keep on their insist

 

No! They can’t see me

So they are only here to haunt

They whisper about there time to leave

Though I get no final reprieve

 

They float up and I cry out “no!”

“I missed you all! Please don’t go!”

Though this time they here me and stop to look down

They still leave, no expression to be found

 

They re gone again

As if they were ever really there

Then I woke up from that nightmare

 

These shadows
