Shadow Man


Here he lays on a lonely bed,
can’t get past the clutter in his head.

He knows he has a soul
he can feel it deep inside,
though his face will age
he knows he’ll stay alive.

He sits in a spacious room,
close to his dream so chased

again his wish came true,
he’s in a comfortable place.

But for all his big ideas
the trouble is
he hasn’t got the space.

He knows he has a heart,
hears the cries from deep inside,
within the mess that he sees.

His song is playing again
it tingles through his vanes

“To my healing I am change
but to myself I am estranged,
within a heaven of god given bliss
I am a hell of burning pain.

Now I watch possibility
looking at me in the face,
who is this character I see
and why is he so strange?”
