We Become One

Walking along the rainy sidewalk of a university,

I watch the shadows put on shows they took no time to prepare.

Look into their hearts, can you see someone in the dark,

rimmed figure, that familiar silhouette?

"Dance with me,"

the shadow says, inviting me to parade,

in our creation eternal.

I start to dance,

and the shadow merges with me;

we become one with dance.

"Sing with me."

the shadow says, smiling within and out,

in humble grace.

I start to sing,

and the shadow's voice merges with me;

we become one with song.

"Play the games of the shadows charade.

Join with me in eternal parade.

Don't deny, have no fear.

Don't let my passing cause your tears."

The shadow embraces me,

pulling me into loving arms.

I could feel my head against his chest;

each finger stroking my hair,

like strings on a brunette harp.

The voice to which I became one,

broke apart with mine, 

and became one with my soul.

"We have had fun, 

but now I ask of you,

to rest tonight..."

The shadow whispers softly.

"You need your rest...

I'll hold you until you fall into sleep.

It's okay.

I am a shadow.

I am your companion.

I am always with you."
