Shadows Dance

Shadows dance with the quiet soft breeze.
No boundaries to hold them, every one free.
In deeper depths, the shades grow dark.
Creeping into the cracks of the heart.
Only one fear keeps them at bay,
only one thing keeps the monsters away.
When the darkness grows strong
and it sings its enticing song.
When your head screams to run and your heart is undone.
Your legs are bound through there are no chains.
Nothing seems to stop the long black train.
“Run! Flee!” Dear wisdom does scream.
The dark is no ally to have on your team.
The enticing song, you hear it play.
It wraps you tight to draw you away.
Away from wisdom, away from thought strife.
It takes you and pulls you away from the light.
