Hollow Shadow

Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow
With your footsteps beat of my heart return
Out of sight you form in me your shadow.

When from yonder chilling northern winds blow
Congealed clouds don’t remove the shroud on sun
Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow.

You walk on sunburst dawn in my meadow
With dream colors mystique angel you turn
Out of sight you form in me your shadow.

Collapsed footprints on sand I can’t follow
Your trail I won’t ever waver to yearn 
Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow.

Sunshine blazed sky makes my lone mind to glow
In the fiery passion you stoke I burn
Out of sight you form in me your shadow.

Under twilight I stride on life fallow
Trail of frozen tear drops you can’t discern
Through dense mist you walk in vague shape hollow
Out of sight you form in me your shadow.
