The Shadow
 
 
 
What can this be, this figure me?
Within a man baptized by pleas
for stature, courage and strength demure –
displays this figure, ‘tis my decree!
 
 
Yet bellows my soul in lonely jest –
for half a man, I am this quest.
And though it seems by beckon lure –
is truly sought as gifted bless.
 
 
A tapestry of woven souls,
two minds, one heart for just one goal.
Am I the lead; am I the might?
Who plays this part, who plays this role?
 
 
If not abreast, inside I know -
profound in heart, my life bestow.
To see the woman who gave me light,
to honor me as her shadow.
