**The Shadow**
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over pages filled with whispers, tales of sorrow from the past—
While I nodded, deeply dreaming, suddenly there came a scheming,
As of footsteps soft and fleeting, echoing from shadows cast.
“’Tis a visitor,” I muttered, “coming through the twilight vast—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,
When the chill of night descended on my heart and heavy soul.
Each ember dimmed with quiet splendor, casting visions that I’d render,
Of a time when hope was vibrant, and my spirit felt more whole—
But the hours dripped like water, leaving memories as coal—
Only this and nothing more.
In the stillness, then a tapping, like a whisper softly rapping,
At my chamber door—“Come find me, seek the truth of lost delight!”
“Surely it is just a wanderer,” said my heart, though I did ponder,
“Is it ghostly or a figment of the shadows in this night?”
Yet again the voice came creeping, deeper still, within my fright—
“Find the shadow, seek the light.”
So I turned, my heart now racing, seeking remnants of embracing,
Thoughts of love, of dreams departed, lingered in the haunted air.
And the shadows danced around me, veils of mist that spellbound me,
Drawing me toward the echoes of a love I couldn’t spare;
“Follow me,” the murmur beckoned, “to a fate beyond despair—
Journey forth, and find what’s rare.”
With a breath, I took the venture, through the veil that seemed to wrench her
From the depths of those long days, when her laughter filled my soul.
In the dark, her visage gleamed, and in silent night it seemed
Her essence twined with memory, weaving threads beyond control—
Yet the more I reached to grasp her, the more shadows took their toll—
Leaving only the shadow whole.
“Is this all that remains of dreaming, just a faint and fleeting gleaming?”
I called out into the darkness, yearning for a flicker’s grace.
From the depths, a soft voice whispered, “Hope will light the path you’ve missed,
Though the night may feel unending, and your heart feels out of place.
Find the love within your longing, let it guide you through the chase—
For shadows, too, have their space.”
And so I wandered, lost yet hopeful, chased by dreams that were now vocal,
With the night as my companion, in the quest to find my way.
Though the shadow loomed beside me, I embraced the light inside me,
Knowing love would be the beacon, leading on beyond the gray,
In the heart of every whisper, there is warmth that longs to stay—
Yes, I’ll chase it, come what may.
