I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

Scary Shadow

I don’t look behind me

when the sun shines on me.

I fear that the shadow has

actualized enough to

form a face.


I don’t worry if she

has a voice.


I know that even 

if she doesn’t

my mind will

make one up for her

giving her words

like kryptonite

that’ll defeat me.


I stopped being scared

of this shadow of mine,

given her a name &

sapped a task

to her schedule.


Shadows have hands too,

they have a body,

they too have a purpose &

even not assigned

to her directly,


then why not

give her some that

were assigned to me?


Something more than

just being my shadow.
