Cold Shadows
November 16, 2011
Silently I walk beside them,
Taking in their frenzied lives,
Now before me lies a shadow,
Moving, flickering, shifting guise.
Other lives and high ambitions,
Fill the space with power, poise.
I stand oddly disconnected,
Watching, making little noise.
Their concerns do not ensnare me
Cold at heart, I see them fail.
Unencumbered, I, the shadow,
Ever distant, ever pale.
Always watching, sometimes learning,
Knowledge as my only goal,
They see nothing but a shadow,
Lacking substance, lacking soul.
Busy lives will soon forget me;
Watch them as they speed away.
Watch them as the single shadow
Fades to dark at close of day.
