In the shadow, we lie awake—
It's when we blossom and plan our dreams,
or fall into sadness or deep madness,
as the ebbs and flows open gates,
and reveal a life we long await.
In the shadow, we find a place
that reveals a heart that beats and leans—
to seek a hand that never leaves
no matter the calling of humble needs.
In the shadow, we learn to love—
the life given to each of us.
