Your Shadow
His heart is a branch,
And I am the bird
That crept by to
Perch on the wood,
His eyes are
Heaven’s first light
And I sit by the balcony
As the light anoints me.
Even in your darkness
I will stay
For I will twinkle
Like the stars
Even if you run
With wings on your feet,
I will jump from cloud to cloud
To even be your shadow
Or a grain of sand beneath your feet
To live with you is my desire,
And to be your love my longing.
