Brother Shadow

From my heel to the time of day
Sweeps shadow in mimetic play
Plays puppet and I the fiddling
This shadow does friendly bidding.

Walks with me in the light of sun
Mirroring what ever is done.
Unnoticed in the grey of shade
But move for move in light is made.

I draw on this genie's beckon
Make dragons of shadows reckon.
Enact my villains on a wall
A knight to charge and make them fall.

It helps me through the pain of hours
Lends to me transparent powers.
And gives to me a focus tool
To play a playful silly fool.

A synergistic wile portend.
That is my sword in guile, a friend.

Seymour, this was indeed a treat of read and ya know this gave me a vision of shadow dragon dancing and need I say more... well I shall...
I can remember sweet times with clench of  palm and twitch of fingertips while flashlite held in other hand we'd create magical tales of shadows on the wall when night time fell...
Magnificently written as our friends above have said...
Thank you PoetFriend
