I was summoned
by a shadow
It said come
and follow me,
It beckoned
with its finger-
I followed
happily
It took me on
a pathway
With gleaming
trees of white
And lured me
down a road
Of dappled
leaves and light.
I was summoned
by a shadow
To find new
fields of green
And look to
new horizons
To see the not
yet seen.
It called me
in soft whispers
That stole my
very heart
It offered me
its hand
To heal the
hurting parts.
I was summoned
by a shadow
Recalled to
love again,
And now I need
my shadow,
My light, my
love, my friend.
