I set fire to my shadow and watched it burn
The fire set free a rose
It blossomed and died and budded again
Through the blue-gold flame
Petals turning black
I set fire to my shadow and watched it dance
Life’s bright spark
Illuminating all around it
It’s blaze alighting others
Coming together in one blissful union
I set fire to my shadow and watched it rise
Grow wings and fly high up
Climb stars and pass strange worlds
Glimmering and winking
From the inky black ash
I set fire to my shadow and watched it smolder
With hidden passions and smothered anger
Barely contained and swelling within
Glaring darkly from behind
Thickly hooded eyes
I set fire to my shadow and watched it
Embraced it
And set it free
And I wondered
What change is in stall for me
