My shadow stalks me.

Trapped in the mirrors of haze

I spiral down the banisters of time,

the moonbeam light shows the way

irrigated thoughts rain on

pools of collected memories

huddled around the dying embers

of my ancestors I nest while

my shadow stalks me.

An interesting twist on the shadow theme - usually the shadow is a reassuring companion (e.g the song 'Me and My Shadow') but here it is a foreboding limpet. Creative twisting my melon man.
