I am one with the shadows.
No one can contain me.
My form is amorphous and impossible to grip.
I am a vitreous black wraith.
Light cannot banish me
For that is what created me.
And yet I was first.
I am an imposing creature
Hiding all that is evil within my cloak.
Children's screams drown in me,
Women fear my presence,
And men grow wary at my appearance.
You cannot destroy me
For I am embraced by my ancient mother
Darkness.
She is inevitable.
Every bulb will eventually burn out,
As will every fire die,
And every star collapse into the epitome of my mother's self.
You cannot deny her, nor me,
For we will live for eternity,
And laugh as the Universe struggles for one last breathe
And then die as my maternal elder consumes all.
Forever shall we remain,
Dancing the dance that only Shadows can.
