Groundhog Shadows

I step into the darkness
Here at the end of night
And behold in the near distance
A faintly glowing light

On the back porch of a neighbor
Less than a block away
And I feel the misty silence
Of this cool and foggy day.

It's as though I've been enshrouded
In a pearlescent veil
That reveals a world of wonder
Like some far Arabian tale.

The sense of one transported
To the center of a cloud
Floating far above the planet
And the ever maddening crowd

Fills me with a peacefulness
That rests upon my mind
Until my thoughts are bubbling
And quickly there I find

The sun won't soon be shining
Though the dawn is oh, so near
But, I know there'll be no shadow
On Groundhog Day this year.
