Rows of black branching leaves

When clouds surround - I'm not alone

Playing tag with my shadow

Oh at the end of days

Who I am I can't remain

I've got the wings Of corvidae

Never thought I'd be this way

To feel so cold, yet so okay

When chasing light, I must tiptoe

Forevermore, there's my shadow
