I think of Shadow
And about how he
Was born of Light and Dark,
After they met,
Danced on the circle
And became brief
Lovers that spun inside
The circle itself.

He was doomed
To be closer to mother, Dark.
She understood his
Effect of blinding people,
While his father, Light,
Eclipsed him,
And many jealous fights
Ensued.

Trying to exist in both worlds,
He became a stealthy shape shifter
Who would disguise himself
As shade and try to give
The illusion of providing
Relief to all who
Visited.

But Shadow had grown
Up bitter and could
Not avoid hiding the
Truth of things from
The tribes.

He learned to creep
Slowly into lodges
Using all sorts of tricks
And all sorts of disguises
To influence all
He touched.

Even today,
Shadow creeps into
The minds and homes
Of the People.
Wreaking confusions
And clouding eyes

Some embrace him,
And many more are
Fooled by him.

I think of Shadow
And know he has entered
This lodge of ours.

Applauding, yet again! These are simply wonderful!

And the last few lines? such a quiet impact!

Ooooo I liked that one, just the right amount of dark for me, well done! (may I?)

I am the darkness which will always remain,
who follows your footsteps and whispers your name.
I linger behind you, a reminder, a refrain,
who sings you sweet nothings and plays all your games.
I move with your gestures and mirror your soul.
I am your gray side, the blackness, the coal.
I live without substance and burn without fire.
I am your truth, your mimic and of course, your liar.
I chase without running, I follow your lead.
I'm always behind you, I'm the dark side you bleed.
I'm not going to leave you, you're mine 'til you die,
I'm your nothing, your everything, a flicker, a sigh.
so run if you will, but I'll always be near,
I'll follow you always,
I'm your echo, your darkness
I'm the shadow you fear.
