Shadow lyrics

When born we all are cast

To a shadow small and lowly

The winged messenger of life

Its progression swift and sure

So present, new and infinite

Seemingly always there

Cast by being and brilliance

Faded in greyed days and night

A frolicking companion attached

Never to be unbound in life

It mimics every movement

Ever present, never lonely

In the transition of long night

It makes us grow tall in might

So we believe we guide it

Trying at times to hide it

But faithfully close it comes

To keep us constant company

Through the thick and thin

Watching and waiting patiently

In aged days it's close by

Slow to move and blurred so

Its profile altered by time

Signaling is true presence

So shadows come, so too they go

Guardians of mortal impermanence

In a relevant realm of inconsequence

Soul's shadow released in elegance

The darkness goes away

It is replaced by the light

The faces of contrast shape

The day and the night
