Sacred Shadows

We remember them all
Ghosts dwell here
Now made of shadows
Lingering in eternity
In the echoes, the hollows
Of every life lived with hope
Reaching across the horizon
Let the shadows draw near
If you need help reach out
Give me a little rope I'll find a way
In the shallows of our existence
I can wade there in the water
I might desire to go deeper
Into the flesh of the world
I've nothing more to accomplish
I can't escape destiny
Nor the anguish and still
The planet spins, yes, it turns
I remember the shadows
They are sacred
And to them, from face to face
In a darkness that echoes
Not running from them
They'll not have to give chase
For I'll not reject them
I'll enter in embrace
