Shadow Puppet
My shadow shines bright
My shadow is my hobby
My shadow is my puppet
I animate to motion
I kindle the match
To my shadow I am God
Composing life with just a bit of light
My shadow's my mask
Looking for a face to enhance
A gesture to mimic
My shadow molds around my age
My shadow is as sharp as the bitter night sky
My shadow is a vampire
It hides behind me when
The light invades our atmosphere
My shadow is so quiet
So vacant like an empty house
As I get all the features
He's just the other side of twins
My shadow is a prisoner
Bound to me by fingertip and
The pinnacles of toes
He is only free
When the darkness spreads the earth
With a cloak, with a shadow
