Shadowland

In the deep Shadowland, where secrets reside,

Subconscious whispers, a creative guide.

A silent force shaping thoughts in the night,

Unseen, unheard, but wields endless might.

Now there, now not; now there, now not;

Now somewhere else; now not anywhere!

There till you see it, not when you feel it,

Present not, absent not; nor unfair!

From a point in the void, out comes a thought,

Born of itself, like a lightning bolt caught,

A spark from the heart of darkness,

With dreams so tightly wrought.

Now there, now not; now there, now not;

Now somewhere else; now not anywhere!

There till you see it, not when you feel it,

Present not, absent not; nor unfair!

You cannot see the rivers in the sea,

Yet you know the one makes the other.

A furious uproar; a crying downpour;

Yet you know tomorrow will be in order.

Now there, now not; now there, now not;

Now somewhere else; now not anywhere!

There till you see it, not when you feel it,

Present not, absent not; nor unfair!
