In shadows deep, a heart of gold does lie,
A soul unseen, beneath the darkened sky.
In silence borne, where whispers softly tread,
A spirit yearns, from its cocoon to shed.

For in the home of shadows, long he's dwelled,
Where every tale of light was swiftly quelled.
Yet deep within, a longing ever grows,
To seek the light, where gentle zephyr blows.

The walls that once embraced, now feel confining,
A spirit bound, within its own designing.
But in the distance, calls a pretty bird,
With songs of hope, its melody is heard.

Oh, one in shadow, heed the bird's sweet song,
For in its notes, you'll find where you belong.
Beyond the gloom, lies fields of vibrant hue,
Where skies of azure beckon, clear and true.

Embrace the light, let it caress your soul,
Let go of shadows, let your spirit stroll.
For in the brightness, you'll find wings to soar,
And leave behind the shadows evermore.

So spread your wings, oh one with heart of gold,
Let your true colors shine, bold and untold.
For in the light, your beauty shall unfold,
And in its warmth, you'll find a love to hold.
