Shadow Poem by Donald R Wolff JR

Somewhere in the land of Shadow
Silhouettes act out our thoughts, imagined;
By the light of candles

Dancing alongside the flickering light
Specters recite make-believe stories, in the dark of night

Kingdoms rise near fairy tale streams
From the minds of children who love to dream

Phantasms perform their play called Phantom
To enchant the souls who visit Shadow

Before the life we live, when to sleep, dreams make
Of all the wonders that our hearts create

Stories made-up within a place unseen
Replayed in Shadow when young-ones sleep
