I had walked a long way through the Shadow Valley
Where no sun shone,
Only shadows cast over me
Could not see even five feet ahead
Wandering aimlessly,
Trudging through the muck
Sinking deeper and deeper with every step
I had wandered long throughout this valley
Looking for an escape perhaps a sign of light
The trees always looked at me viciously
Their long branch arms reaching out -
Trying to grab me, trying to make me stumble
Through these long hours, days, years -
The wolves seemed to watch
Waiting for a moment to attack
