Shade is the dim, the dark, the shadowy places underneath.

Shade is the damp, the dank, the hollowed places in-between.

Shade is the cool, the chilled, the trickling places underground.

Shade is the veiled, the shrouded, the obscured places that surround.

Shade is the hidden, the concealed, the buried places below.

Shade is the abandoned, the forgotten, the places lost long ago.

And As the years pass by toward the end of our days.

We soon shall return to the shade of our graves.
