Light from the shadows

I saw your shadows on a star-filled night,

With a caesura of a drawn breath I held on tight,

Shadows can’t lie, they couldn’t even exist,

But I found myself immersed within your mist.

The chains of my past were drifting me apart,

While I was dreaming of yesterday depart,

The chains of glass had a reflection of YOU,

A little girl with wings above you flew,

The candle in your soul ‘cracked’ the glass chains,

My shadows crept out and cried “Freedom reigns,”

The light from your shadow kills my past,

I revel in this menagerie of life at last.
