Panting Shadow
Dusty Staccato clouds chalked against a blackboard sky
interrupt the glow of a sunny white moon
as the silence of darkness clings to the crickets anthem -
ignoring the chorus of life that holds the stillness hostage.
And the panting shadow
beneath the lonely lamppost light
tugs always,
gently at my grip,
Ever eager,
to lead me anywhere -
but home.
