"Shadows in the Dusk" by Caitlin N. Veit

SF&F Picture 2 out of 2 by Caitlin N. Veit

A poem about the change from human to shadow, from one realm to another.

Shadows in the Dusk

Creeping 'long the street

beside the lamplight, lit.

Wandering with worry

at wonderings in my head.

At my feet lay the remnants

of some past, forgotton day.

A tell-tale sign of heartbreak

or long lived feelings dead that day.

They lay there scattered and upset

at their fate beneath the stone.

The shadow looked to heaven,

though the motion was it's own.

It shuddered, stood before me,

feeling judged and quite forlorn.

Sides aching with it's sorrow

for the bliss in my ignorance.

A sigh, and sob, rips from deep inside it's chest

Dark eyes lift showing sadness and great unhappy rest

It's arm reaches up with longing before it holds a hand to me

pulling and sinking to darkness...a shadow I will be.
