Little Shadow

"Every frightened little shadow dreams of being a golden strand of light"

 

I am a little shadow
In the land of grey and black
I drift between the trees
Among the dark shadows
So shadows be still
Don’t drag me down

I wait for the night to end
When the first of light comes
Then I can be free
To dance and play
As a golden strand of light
High up in the air above

I will make beautiful colours
Shimmering on the water
Reflecting on a window's glass
Making pretty patterns
Until the night comes again
So be still dark shadows

I like this poem...Well penned...:)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A nice little earthly piece Leigh that flows well. Not sure about using the words shadow and shadows so much in the first stanza.
