Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Have you ever watched the Shadow dance?
Seen the masquerade of every stance?

Such movements planned perfectly
Only add to the crowds' certainty

That this must be the greatest test
The mastery of a life blessed

All that is
All that will ever be
Is just the perfect dance
Of the Shadow's mimicry

But have you ever looked beyond mask?
Seen the face that seems to ask?

A pain refected past all else known
A weariness from ordeals never shown

Such a call to all that lives
Why choosen for the future a dreary past gives?

Life, as so, a burden
Death a freedom and punishment
Such is the prison
Of the Shadow's torment

So forever carry the worries of all others
On your shoulders, oh Shadow without druthers

Continue to dance
Hide the pain of loneliness in such trance

Oh Shadow whom none will truely see
True thanks, as such, never given to thee
