Dancing with my Shadow
A poem
A guest shining in the darkness
with rays glowing as shadows
a momento to become nothing under the
starlit night or sunlight
It reincarnates and dies alongside me
Like we humans, are nothing but dust
Shadow zips up into my body
until it’s beneath my feet
I see it unfurl, walking away
once more stretching itself into the dark
It trails me, dances between the trees
as the sun flickers through it
Mirroring my actions,
Looking up at me, admiring my every move
Immaculate outline of my shape
echo of my movements
Lifetime of companion
melting into the darkness with twilight
Loopy strides, or walking at a snail pace
Darkness leading us to up to the light
Dancing endlessly with my shadow
As if — I am & I am not!
