Shadows in a Solar Flare
The Wopaho Nation

2007
As shadows crawl from everywhere
I can’t bring myself to care at all
I only care about myself
That’s what you said

And I guess we’ll see
I guess that means
This one is for me

As shadows crawl from everywhere
I think they look better over there
By you
I put them over there by you

Out of the corner of my eye
I see a flicker flashing by
What to do
There’s nothing I can do for you
For you

The shadows clear
A solar flare
Leaves something hidden
In the air
There’s nothing I can do

The sun is hot
Too hot to bear
A bit too close
Too many layers
Just smile and enjoy the view
The view

As shadows crawl from everywhere
Will they be missed, their loss despaired
Were they given names from where they came

The shadows hit the empty room
Light touches them, their colors bloom
I see my face, finally found my place
