Shadows


The flickering lamp-post
at the bend of the road,
across the shrinking shadows
stretching with the wind

I stood there waiting...
i had nowhere else to go!

the approaching darkness
made them bolder...
menacingly they moved about
cloaking in darkness, shrouding in obscurity

Biding its time to claim me
Make me a part of its own.
