A Moment's Thought

by the backyard lane i walk

in search of light, despite cold

i see, in the moon light,

shadows walk dance and stumble..

as i listen to the whisperings

of my own heart, of the days past

i see,going past by me, in dark

the shadows of memories, lost

ten feets up and there is light

as in joy, i scream and run

i see no shadows, as i traipse ahead

the pathway of life, materialistic

fake,bogus and pathetic the life

but bound by chains to live,

and then, in just a moment's thought

i quit, and leave to my master's home.
