Shadow Land

by David Neubauer


When all the cards have been played,
When all the debts have been paid,
When the entire world has crumbled
Into the holes that oblivion creates,
You will find the land, the shadow land,
Where dreams rise like flies,
Only to be shot down like the hunter’s prey,
The land where the shadow falls,
The land of the broken.
In this, the shadow land,
Led on by the shadow of what was to be,
There you shall find the shattered, the broken,
The twisted, the torn, and the dead.
All those have been collected here,
In the land of the shadow, and here
Shall they dwell forever more.
Here shall they dwell in the depths
Of my mind.

Chilling, but brilliantly presented.
