Poem

I listen to my shadow as it wakes
Contemplating its solitude, hearing how peacefully it
Settles over dawn’s breath, and how it looks upon
Last night’s fire, now a stain upon the earth

I listen to the sky cleft open the dawn
Watch as she tears a strip from her canvas taught with night’s frost, 
Allowing the last of the stars to slip away, unseen
Whilst my shadow watches sleep invade my breath again

I now listen as dawn unfolds about my camp
Watch as the shadows slyly acquaint themselves
And how impishly they mingle with the tall trees
Until sunlight chases them all away

I listen to my shadow bashfully retreat beneath me
Solitude dissolving in birdsong and the 
Growing pains of the forest, as 
Clouds now collect to frighten the sky away

I listen to the wind chase itself through the trees
Moaning in search of those shadows, as
Tired leaves fall amongst the cries of the forest, where 
Tears gather into cups of the fallen

I listen to my shadow slurp greedily from the forest floor
Gathering the tears of the fallen, cradling them 
Like his own flesh and blood, until the solitude returns
And the night’s fire makes the shadows 
Dance with the forest once again
