Shadowlands - Yearning

'In the shadow-lands
When lines are blurred
And my dreams are yours – for an infinite heartbeat'




In the silhouette of the morn
As the lark croons it's sweetest song

I watch you fade into the night
With the advent of every dawn

Across the bridge that burns with light
My yearning takes to solitary flight
I long for chasms to be bridged anew
With the advent of another night

Of neither light nor dark I know
Nor heed the seer’s tidings of woe
My every thought yet calls for you
And chafes at time’s passage slow

Then shadows fall and you walk my way
And though I know you cannot stay

Yet hope still springs eternal deep
And holds us in its enchanting sway


We meet through thundered mist and rain
And renewed joy yet dulls the pain
In the shadow-lands we tread

Love’s labor lost – our dreams in vain

Shadowlands

'In the shadowlands
 Where lines blur
 Where do you end .....where do I begin'

In the shadow of the night
When darkness veils our heart's delight
In the shadowlands we tread
When yearning bridges our great divide

I hear your voice as you call my name
Through thunder mist and shadowed rain
I cleave to you I know not why
For yonder lies little joy and much pain

Yet in this moment I am lost
No matter ill fortune's weary cost
My only anchor a rootless bond
And sibilant whispers from the haunting past

In shadowland's temptuous wanton dark
Beyond the morn-song of the lark
Where do you end - where do I start
When blurs the line, the divisive mark

By word and look I perish here
I heed your call and know no fear
Until yet dawns the daily light
And throws in stark relief - our reality clear.
