Shadow

Shadow of a butterfly reaching through the light shining Through transparent window panes. The shadow of me hiding in the shade casted By the wall beneath the sill. Sunlight of this evening lighting up my bedroom, Helping me to see my surrounding. Sunlight of this day, for me, it was brightly burning, All while bicycling home. Shadow of a bird symbolizing flying and basking In the sun, which soothes my pains. The shadow of me concealing itself and fasted Inside my head as I sit still. Rays of a sunset touching the glass, illuminating The colours and the wall. Rays of a sunrise waiting for night to pass, wishing To shine so I may finally roam. Shadow of a cage: this window the only thing Keeping me as solitary as I can be. The shadow of me welling up deep within, Descending into sorrow. Light of the sun embracing countries, forever travelling. Sunrise awaiting my horizon. Light of the sun reminding me how There will be a day of my dream coming true. Shadow of the blue twilight gently glowing Throughout this room where I am free. The shadow of me restlessly reflecting Upon thoughts of the days beyond tomorrow. Sunshine everyday warmly reassuring That it will always shine on through. Sunshine everyday piercing The gray clouds of any day. Shadow of thoughts filling My mind with a saddening realization. The shadow of me is suddenly being embraced, My Sun ensuring in time I will attain all I’ve dreamed.
