Hiding in Shadows

I am standing in a place so near

Yet I'm invisible to the naked eye

There's no way to know

That I am close to you

You will not see me

My space is covered by darkness

I am not playing games

This is serious business

Do not try to seek me

Within reach of a light

I am hiding in the shadows

The quest to locate me

Will be one for which you need

Strength, might

And every bit of your courage

If you think I am lost

Do not try to find me

Unless you are willing

To move away from the known

And enter my world

Of silhouettes

And sudden movements in the background

I make not a sound

I make no noise at all

I hide from everything

I hide from everyone

I am a shy creature

Who moves away quickly

The world that I live in

Is covered from view

By surroundings so black

Do not try to find me

Unless are you too are willing

To hide in the shadows

I am not playing games

This is serious business

Do not try to seek me

Within reach of a light

I am hiding in the shadows

If you want to succeed

In the quest to locate me

You'll need strength, might and every bit of your courage

That’s what you’ll need to find me

When I’m hiding in the shadows
