SHADOW DANCING

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Shadows in an empty room, not seen,
Nor heard, not touched, nor smelt, unknown to sense
Dancing dimly beneath my sight, a sheen

Sheltering tears torn to earth they evince.
Suns, bright stars beneath my feet, silent formed
Dreams, shades dancing beneath my words in time.
An endless dance. shadows silently born
By one, and two, my heart shadowed in thine.

A shadow dance, but real as true, a life
Shared between me and you. Shadows streaked by
Tears reclaimed. Shadows short as a breeze, strike
A spark of stars. Dreams dreaming dreams that cry.

Strike once, twice, thrice. Then still, silent verbs shout
Shadows shorn of emptiness, spiral out.
