Like Shadows on a Wall

The inner person remains secret.

Like Shadows on a Wall

 

By Elton Camp

 

Their shapes and sizes we know

But few of the details, though

 

The shadows we see move about

The substances is there, no doubt

 

People dance through life, hidden

Access to their hearts is forbidden

 

We mustn’t reveal what is inside

That, once told, cannot be denied

 

Thoughts and feels we don’t dare

With any other people to share

 

Death comes and takes us away

Forever safe our secrets will stay

A bit staccato in delivery but I appreciate your thinking
