Shadows and Light

The shadows they crawled in, closer than ever
As he knelt in the centre, drawing into himself further
They leapt and they bounded, nearing his trembling feet
He huddled in closer, not willing to accept defeat
The shadows they drew up to their full height
And beckoned him closer with all of their might
He looked inwards, into his heart
Knowing she'd be unhappy if they were to part
A bright light shimmered around him then
Showing him the path of where to begin
To escape the demons that threaten to destroy
To trick him into one of their ploys
The light blasted outwards into the night
As big as a tower, it burned to ignite
He called out in victory as the shadows withdrew
And the light grew larger bringing in a day anew
