Hidden from a world so bright <br />is a man so filled with love <br />he hides away from the burning light <br />but he once had a safe place he used to dream of <br />The safe place is now so dark and cold <br />it used to bring him such joy and no fears <br />he had owned this place since he was seven years old <br />no his safe place only brings tears <br />he hides his face and embraces the dark <br />he fears the light and lives like a shadow <br />the shadow travels but he always leaves his mark <br />you may seem him now and again but you must remember he is a shadow <br />the shadow has an amazing voice <br />if you want to hear him speak first you must listen <br />if you speak when he does then you made your choice <br />he will vanish and all that is left is a glisten<br /><br />Chris Clingman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shadow-40/
