Best Poems Written by Justina Howard

The Shapeshifter

I am you, or are you me?
Are we truly who we’re meant to be?

Seemingly fluid, so unfixed
The facets defining, so intermixed

On the sweetest day in June
I am the Lilly you watch bloom

In the deep cold dead of winter
You are the darkness driven splinter

I shift my shape and you shift yours
We set off once again into the moors

But are you me? Or am I you?
It has always been just us two

You cannot see without my eyes
I cannot exist without your lies

I am blossoms, you are decay
I love you more than I’ll convey

We dance together wild and free
But am I you or are you me?

Our time together has no limit
Our bond, cosmically infinite

And as the ever-wandering drifter
We are one as the Shapeshifter

-J.A.
