Distant Shadow

Distant shadow

            Dwelling under the stars,

            Creeping from the cracks,

            Guiding me, in the silence.

            Shielding me with your sapphire wings.

            Being unhallowed

            Nor a pariah, who looms the world.

            More than a stranger.

            A mother in sorts

            Strong and different

            Loving in all ways.

            Raising a family, that has blossomed and redefined life.

            Although imperfect

            You are loved in many ways 

            Being the heart of fire

            Kindling sin, ratting out the blemishes

            With your cunning eyes

            Which were crafted by heaven

            Molded together with smooth hands

            As the twilight lines your perfections

            Bringing life within you, as you are the distant shadow

            Where all love you for you

            As I remember, my guardian angel

            One who watched me grow

            Giving me a light, within the dark
