Shadow

Written 08.15.09

Uncovered by shadow,
within the dark night,
appears eerie things
not seen by the light.
When all is quiet,
and the world is asleep,
all the world's mysteries
come out and creep.
Mysterious people
walking by moonlight,
their actions secret,
and hidden from sight.
Faint, haunting sounds
from outside your window.
The darkness shields Truth,
until the moon's low.
The sun begins to rise,
and the mysteries fade,
hiding in secret
until the end of day.
