Shadow

It is the barest of flickers 

Against the darkest of the nights

Always out of focus

Never a clear sight

It creeps along

Always hidden

Its always there

But never seen

It's behind

It's ahead

It's all around

But never clearly seen

You catch a glimpse

See a flicker

Hear a scratch

But never see a full form

Always a flicker in the corner

Always hidden in the cover of darkness

Always there but never truly seen

Always waiting from afar

Its always there

Hidden in the night

It never fully disappears 

But it always follows

Its never thought of 

But its always with you

Cloaked in darkness

But always more

Than a Shadow
