The shadow in the light
A dark horses life;so secretive and difficult to comprehend,
Living for years under the shadow of his nature,
Collossal,half statue, half rock and a grimaced face,
A dark figure with a cloak just as a grim reaper.
It hid under the shadows of trees.
It pays no heed to the light,
Nor the sunshine in the desolate house,
No one understands his agitation.
Is he a leader trying to hide in the shadow of his predecessor,
Is he trying to abandon the fruitfulness of the world and his inner self ,
No one knows,
No one understands,
No one seems to care,
But one day a wonder may occur,
He might face the world,
But the clock ticks every moment!
And time is at stake.
