Shadow Catcher

Folder: 
2015

Yin-yang

Black and gray

The white has slipped away


The shadow catcher darts

between the lives,

stealing

stealing

stealing

never giving


There’s nothing I can do

he slips a hand

into my path

Stick figures, hurriedly penned

vanish

one by one

 

The shadow catcher lies

under the midnight moon,

watching

watching

watching

never drifting

he can’t afford to sleep


As the wind girl casts a breeze through the oaks

and I spend more and more nights

without closing my eyes

The nights of the shadow catcher

are getting longer,

as countless lives are

running

running

running

out of time.
