The Shadow

By Garret R.

I dance along the wall,

wishing to be set free,

as a shadow should be,

but I can't you see,

bound to a human being.

I want a chance to dance on more than just the wall,

feel the rain on my skin,

build a snowman in the snow,

snuggle up by a warm fire,

taste the warm, steaming cup of hot cocoa.

I want to smell the flowers,

while taking a stroll through a meadow.

But it will only be a dream,

so far away from me,

but that doesn't mean I still can't believe.
