Shadow

Is this what I will remain? A shadow? A nobody?
Is that what we are? Wavering? Unsteady?

Like cocaine’s temporary feeling of euphoria,
When this is over, will I fade away??

Like the seconds of a clock that go by,,
And leave no trace of existence,
Like the seasons that bid good bye,
And depart into the distance,

Like a haunting piece of anonymous music,
That creates this feeling of sensational magic,

Like the abstractness of the senses,
That is hard to understand or explain
Like memories caught in a lens,
In the fabric of time, frozen.

Will I be anything but a shadow?
With no sense of being..
Will be an angel’s halo?
Mythical, mysterious, unknowing..
