street light people

shadows in day light
shadow in memory
shadow is the dream within the dream

shadow is time, shadow is illusion
only the shadow knows
wherever your shadow goes

my life is unlived
hidden from pain
and joy

unreal is my city
unless i live
in its shadow

unreal am i
looking to find
the least resistance

the fastest route
to the surface
to breathe the shadow air

intent
on robbing the shadow
of it secrets

the shadow
won't be held

dance
as we dance
a thousand lightyears

your shadow shows me
the shadow
of my form and substance

we notice
our movements are in unison
how the night

will destroy us
how we will destroy
ourselves

unless we move towards
and stay here
in the light
