Artistic Endeavors to fail at
Here's my latest artistic effort. Not song lyrics this time as much as standard verse. Please feel free to rip my lack of ability to shreds.
“Shadow Speak"
I wish the shadows could talk
For they may hold the key
To reveal a deeper meaning
Which in light we cannot see
Our lives have the brilliance
Of the brightest stars outshined
But to view them all directly
Would surely leave us blind
The shadows’ imperfect cover
Shrouds this brightness in a veil
Events through the reflections
Revealed in great detail
The shadows speak in code
That may still be unclear
We still need to interpret
The stories that we hear
But when the shadows speak
Their will is done
Hopes and dreams revealed
Like eclipses on the sun
I wish the shadows could talk
For they may hold the key
To reveal a deeper meaning
Which in light we cannot see
Our lives have the brilliance
Of the brightest stars outshined
But to view them all directly
Would surely leave us blind
The shadows’ imperfect cover
Shrouds this brightness in a veil
Events through the reflections
Revealed in great detail
The shadows speak in code
That may still be unclear
We still need to interpret
The stories that we hear
But when the shadows speak
Their will is done
Hopes and dreams revealed
Like eclipses on the sun

I like this. I could see it working as song lyrics if softly sung (or even spoken a la the end of "Nights in White Satin" or "Disfigured Clown") over a pretty acoustic arpeggiation.
