SHADOWS

 =

Tenuous shadows from the past

Forgotten faces, faded features

Curves and angles, hair in tangles

Only recognise the eyes

With expressions of surprise

Watching, waiting, anticipating

Hard to penetrate the gloom

Through the shrouding window drapes

Into the semi-darkened room

Where Death keeps watch

That no one dare

Invade the space

Beyond the veil
