shadow dancing with time

Shadow Dancing with Time


why do these shadows of the darkness tend to fade
upon the beginning of new days
with just the slightest hint of sunshines rays?

and even in the darkest place
thould be hidden behind the same
endless days that eventually haunt the faceless names
turning into to raceless ways
well beyond the skin
underneath where the surface lays

haunted by the eternal time, that is only in existance
so that everything doesnt happen at once
or in the same instance
or perhaps, these shadows that hide in the darkness
behind this fence, in a sense
is the true time, and "we" can dream of seeing
but only at first glance
and so the darkness arrives, with only one chance...
the shadows move...and again we dance!

John thank you so much for your review of this. To be honest I never really thought of it that way. But the way in which you described what you took from it makes perfect sense from the time period of my life in which this was written

The night often brings turmoil as we sleeplessly mull over life is what I take from this. It has a quality that makes the protagonist seem trapped, a sort of 'Groundhog' effect.
