Shadow of Ode

As it is beyond my reach,


My time here is brief,


But it is you who gives me form.


Figure of light shrouded in black,


I can offer you no scorn.


I exist not without you,


You who binds me to Earth


And makes me whole.


All I can do is gaze to you


As you tower with new heights.


You surround me with brilliance


When all I can offer is admiration.


I love how you dance among the clouds;


As I mimic from down below.


I wish you would never leave me


But I know it won't do.


All I ask of you,


O'Caster of life,


Is I come back to you tomorrow,


After light fades to dark.
