Dreaming in Shadows by Jude Kyrie

They say dreams carry no shadows
And that people are weightless in them.
But sometimes when the dream is deep
and dark I see the shadows.

They dance flickering like the first movies.
Almost floating like leaves on an autumn breeze.
I know you are in the shadows.
I try to reach you in the dream.

But you are beyond my reach.
I see our days that passed too fast.
Dancing memories of our life.
Visions of what was us.

Death is feather light floating shadows
In my dreams, the shadows dance
and I sit alone.
Beneath their darkened mantle.
