A Shadow

:::A Shadow:::
::::::::::::::::::::::

Look to the sky
See the sights.
Of a thousand stars
And a hundred lights.
The circle in the sky
Is the only light
That is so bright.
It reflects from the great fireball
To bring us light at night.
Suddenly a cloud passes over
And covers the moon.
It is pitch black outside.
Stars go out of sight
night becomes the darkest hour.
A shadow falls
From the sky.
It has no wings
No cheap trick.
It moves across the fields
And catches you at bad hours.
It is pure guilt
You see?
It stalks you till you are no more.
Believe me
This is no kid’s tale.
The shadow itself is you
And your guilt.
