This

                                                            Is

                                                           My

                                                       Shadow

 

                              Poetry is my escape - and my cure

 

                                                   I float - in word

                             like free bird soaring - swiftly

           into the blue sky; freedom is not - found

                           in what you can offer - me

                             but in what I can do - for my self, without you

                                          vacuuming – my whole

 

                                   Oh, my shadow - can only be   

    seen by those who are willing to see - me
