The Shadow Of Life

Life wakes up everyday From its unconscious slumber Its journey uncharted Its pursuits forgotten Barely remembered as dreams The shadow of life wakes up at night From its conscious slumber Its journey unchartered Fooling us to sleep early And sometimes intoxicating us With a sleep inducing chemical That renders us unconscious Slaves to the marauding shadow of life Life is followed by a shadow As daytime is followed by night time And activities of the day are followed by dreams The shadow of life is alive and well
