Shadows

When I was a child
I had to stand sideways to see you
a fleeting thing so swift

With a midnight cloak
imbued with tiny specs of light
perfect for resting in.

Its dark folds mesmerized-
So swiftly passed the night!
With so little fear

Now, I find
I cannot see the edge of sight
for it has wrapped around me

Enfolding me
  Resting me
    Beyond Rest

Walk with me!
So long as you're at my side
Rather than before me.
