The Laughing Shadows

The Laughing Shadows

Reflections on the walls

Some flickering light 

Bouncing through the darkness it seemed so bright 

Like senseless movement through time

Not knowing what next we will find 

Always the possibility of ending up in some strange bind

Attempting to free themselves in this void 

Loud but not making any noise 

Yet everytime somebody went past there was an utterance so unusual it gave all an untimely fright 

Slowly moving in the stillness trying not to make a sound 

As we passed all we could hear were the voices of the laughing shadows
