Shadows

Location

The sun sets and night will soon fall

Darkness spreads throughout the land,

The shadows growing tall.

They move through the wind like a grain of sand.

 

They move through the trees with ease

Over rocks and through the stream

Playing games wherever they please.

They're more mischievous than they seem.

 

Playing tricks on every person

Who walks at night through their path.

They creep up behind them, making their fear worsen

Chasing them away and having a laugh.

 

People fear the dark

Because the dark thinks it's funny.

During the night, they leave their mark

Going to bed when it's sunny.
