Why There are Shadows

Story by Jacob King on SoFurry

_**From the darkness of the shadows

Where the demons lurk in waiting

Lies an abyss of nothingness

That traps Hope behind steel grating.**_

_**Hope had become an exhibit

In a zoo of lost dreams. They cried

With fur soaked in the blood of Faith

Who had been hunted down untried.**_

_**What felt of an eternity

Had doubt filled my lungs to the brim.

To the brim with a burning air

That fed my soul with thoughts so grim.**_

_**Thoughts so grim one would never see

The light that shines from the sun bright.

The eyes lose sight of anything

That could radiate colors. Light**_

_**T'was a memory; nothing more.

As shadows danced with the light

Forming figures that one could read.

Then those shadows formed a sight**_

_**That bore the name [iRenia](%5C).

Who knew that the shadows could make

Such a lovely contrast with light

To form an image for my sake.**_

_**Her shadow is what forms a light

That had brightened my soul once more.

[She](%5C) freed my hope with [her](%5C) image.

And so I love her evermore.**_
