Time’s lonely ghost

Silent is the shadow

which creepeth long and bold

it never ages, it never dies

it is, forever old

The sun may burn

the wind may howl

the rain may drench its skin

but the shadow remains always

a yawning hungry cowl

Silent is the shadow

which creepeth like a thief

it never ages, it never dies

it is, the one beneath

The snow may settle

the mist may drown

the night may cover its skin

but the shadow remains always

wearing its darkling crown

Silent is the shadow

which creepeth like a snake

it never ages, it never dies

it is, awaiting fate

The hail may pound

the storm may moan

the grass may tickle its skin

but the shadow remains always

a sunset on the roam

Silent is the shadow

which creepeth cold and lost

it never ages, it never dies

it is, time’s lonely ghost
