When Your Shadow's Dancing

Reality nearly suspended
old stories
to tell new friends
quiet notes
only the poet and I understand

I love it when your shadow dances
as I rest beneath
the sun flashing by will of your movement
through my closed eyes
keeping rhythm with your breath

Our connection escapes me
telling myself not to question
why I am caught up in your highs
too deeply tuned in to your lows

When your shadows dancing
I’ve no questions at all

Ohhh....several months ago many of us participated in a "Shadows Dancing" theme...

this brings back many lovely memories, while standing alone in its own glory!

JLR- This is getting weird, now I'm identifying too painfully with your poems. Thanks for sharing!
