Shadowed Child

I am a child of shadows  afraid to touch the light.   My domicile's darkness,   day eclipsed to night.   Veiled in ambiguity   by walls, cliffs and trees.   Enfolded in dark forms,   tucked with bent knees.  I sit with opened hands   palmed to spirits of the day   and beckon them to join  in shadowed secure play.  The soft luster of daybreak   teases vulnerable walls,   crumbling from intensity   of haunting demon calls.   I tremble, as long fingers  reach from the other side.   Beneath a raven cloak   I burrow deep and hide.
