Shadow

Slow Eternity

By Arie

By the tree

I stood watching.

Like the moon,

my heart waiting

for the sun,

for its falling,

and its light

slowly fading.

As my hope,

slowly dimming

in the light,

my heart swimming.

Drowning

in the light.

The light

getting shallow.

My heart,

what is left-

dim light

and great shadow.

By myself

I stand watching.
