As I was sitting in front of the welcoming fireplace,
Staring ahead and nursing a cup of hot tea,
It was the time of the dreadfully long day when
Darkness crept in and the shadows lengthened.
Thinking irrelevant thoughts that didn't matter,
Dreaming unrealistic dreams that didn't make sense,
Feeling hurt and pain that meant nothing to everyone
Else, but me, I knew I was painfully, pathetically alone.
As I mindlessly watched the shadows dance
Their exhilarating dance on the walls of my home,
The realization slowly, but clearly dawned on me -
Shadows are surely friendlier than most people I see.
