In shadowland
If you will permit me the continued use of the (now archaic) Old English second person singular pronoun*... it comes out like this:
In shadowland, the substance is
Ephemeral, and can be missed.
They've moved on, but I remain
In shadowland, I say again.
For permanent immortal gods
can't stay for long in mortal bods.
Their bods must be transformed, some say
that Christ's will be the norm one day.
Oh what a dream, for that to be.
When creatures seem like unto Thee*
whose life dreams carbon-based life up,
for shadowland to have enough
to give a taste or shadow of
the kind of life that's based on love.
Oh what a dream, for that to be.
When creatures seem like unto Thee*
who's bigger yet for all 'a' genders
together beg the question: "When does
the gather-ing become itself
a kind of cancer-ous unhealth?"
* "Thee" = an old English word for a person addressed; the singular of "You" (You, in the early 21st Century is commonly used to cover both singular and plural of the "second person").
