SHADOWS…………….

              The winter lanterns are glowing
              Through the curtain of mist
              The breeze carries white drops of snow
              To paint the evening with silver

              The road goes towards the horizon
              Disappears in the woods where,
              The night stitches her magic gown,
              For her dance with the shadows

              Venus and stars made ornaments
              The moon weaves the veil for her
              The sky braids her hair with clouds
              Gives a lining of silver appliqué

              Long shadows like hags awaits her
              For the show stretches their sharp claws
             Circles and circles like a tornado,
             Welcome her in a mood of delirium.

             The frenzied spirits hide behind the shadows
              Demand for their part in the performance,
              Takes out their magic wands and whirl it
              To mesmerise for coming their side

              When the twilight starts to perch
              In the vestibule of the night
              The long shadows like an octopus
              Covers the land to make their world

              Their sovereignty only last for night,
              When the dawn awakens in the east
              With his golden casket from the sleep
              Drives away those shadows from the sight.
