I AM THE PASSING SHADOW

I AM THE PASSING SHADOW

- June 21, 2018

I am the gay bird

Singing on the twilight trees

I am the bent unbroken elder

Walking down the staircase of time

I am the little boy

Screaming from the hills

I am the tender flowers

Blossoming by the riverside

I am the lone wayfarer

Heading homeward to my dreams

I am the mystery of all ages

And the vanities of all kingdoms

I am the passing shadow

I AM LIFE
