Devoted shadows
cling to appearances
then fade
when darkness steals the light
leaving unseen omens
reduced to tokens
insubstantial
with unstable foundations
tied to fanciful images
and evocations of distorted dreams
the mind bequeaths as dismal legacies
for nocturnal nomads
foolish enough to linger there
where fearful thoughts congregate
and wonder how the night will end.
