The majestic oak spreads her nurturing
Boughs in April sun. Wisdom offering.
Daises on verdant carpets standing proud.
Buttercups; full-shone suns are razed to ground.
Spanish blue bells shine their lanterns; sapphire
And tanzinite. Precious gems of sky fire.
Red roses kiss the air with sugared scent,
Amulets of nectar their blood has spent.
The imposter laurel rests its dark
Leaves of wax full-quenched. But no drop to mark
The harboring earth that pleads for water.
Casts of holly and ivy set anchor,
On the foot-like relic, once born a tree,
Returning it to earth as history.
I am the Silent Shadowman I like to watch you weep,
In the stillness of the air and through the night I sweep.
I descend upon your mind and in your dreams I creep.
For I am the Silent Shadow man who waits for you to sleep.
I am the Hidden Shadowman, l mist upon your wake.
I am always waiting here, not a sound I make.
you’ll meet me when you go to bed, and then your mind I'll take.
For I am the Hidden Shadowman who's gone when you awake.
I am the passing darkness that steals away the light
I usually rest here above, deep and out of sight.
but as the world grows dim and dark, I come to take a bite.
I am the Hungry Shadowman, coming for you tonight.
Every now and again I find the singularity in me
It is both past and prelude, lived and yet to be
Events on its horizon shadow all good from within
And in its place is left nothing but a wretched din
My connections with it are only generally relative
As I stumble into a future, humbly speculative
I take nothing to heart but bear it all in mind
And note that the folds of my fabric are poorly timed
The singularity is my engine and is what creates
It is also a contrivance which my sin perpetuates
The gifts granted me fell into it one by one
In their place the singularity raps a trifle’s drum
All this and I do not fear the singularity
All this and my perceptions portray total clarity
For I can see the geodesic angles in it
For I can know I must live with it
The singularity is me
And I am the singularity...
