![]() ShadowlandA Poem by Beth Elaina![]() Memories so vivid, they overwhelm the senses...I become blind to the present, and get lost in the past...![]()
Shadowy faces dance in my mind
Shadowy places that I’ve left behind
I reach out to touch them
They melt in my hand
But I still can’t let go
Of my precious shadowland
My shadowland
My haven-home
A world full of people
That I walk in alone
Real voices…
They fade away…
And I hear only what the shadows say
Shadowy sounds dance in my ears
Shadows abound, quieting my fears
I reach out to touch them
They melt in my hand
But I still can’t forget
My beautiful shadowland
