ROOM OF SHADOWS

In the room of shadows 
You can never really be sure 
If something is there 
They just melt into the shadows
And disappear
They fade into the grasping hands 
That glance across the walls 
Spreading darkness to everything 
And everyone
Until 
It all dissolves
And the memories
The beautiful triumphs
And failures 
That have built up
For eons and eons 
And EONS
Are the only shadows
That we can't see.
