He sits alone in contemplation,
far into the night
Midnight's hour long since past,
as ponders on his plight
Shadows dance across the wall
in rhythm to the glow
Of embers of a fire near death,
macabre shadowed show,
In his hand blank manuscript,
of thoughts as yet unwritten,
Amid dark depths of melancholy,
lay tales by sorrows bitten.
Upon the night falls tales unspoken,
as he seeks of ports quiescent,
In somber stealth of midnight's waning,
within his mind, pound screams incessant.

it's about the shadows dancing on the wall, and how the light
spills into the darkness and falls on every word.

It is the time I feel most alone.

Beautifully done, Tim~
