MY SHADOW DREAMS

Living in its shadow,

I see it coming

Though time slips away,

Intrinsically, I know it is real;

I feel the warmth of sweet caress

Though yet to be attained

Intrinsically, I know it is real;

Living in its shadow

I see the tip of its peak 

Though the height makes me squinch

Intrinsically, I know it is real;

When I see one achieve

That which they own,

Intrinsically, I know it is real;

Living in its shadow

I even hear the sound

In the breeze of my thoughts;

I wonder why I tarry?

It’s too real to wait

I can see, feel, taste, hear it

Yet the touch is too far away

My shadow dreams are waiting

Can you hear the sound?

I know;  It Is
