Umbra

It is no one’s business but our own
In what we do when the light has fled
With what secrets that we might have shared
When a souls inhibitions are shed

Be sure to tiptoe upright and straight
When upon you are the eyes of day
Yet the moment that the sun is lost  
It is then you choose to come and play

Then night arrives with the time to sleep
And you dream whatever dreams may come
Awakening again with the dawn
Feeling catatonic and quite numb

You need a hot cup or maybe two
That beverage of get up and goes
Eagerly awaiting the next chance
To find your true self in the shadows
