Shadow Play

If I am the universe for you-

You see in me the sun, moon, stars

the valleys,  the mountains

and cascades of beauty

the sound of silence

in equal measures,

where do you find me then?

I am like the wind

embracing you

I am the light

illumining your mind

goading and pushing you

to conquer other worlds.

But you ask me to speak

and  play in reverse rhythms

to match your fancy,

Why?

We are in eternal union

we play with words

a shadow play for our

fights and mystic joys,

I know  I am your whole 

which you fill up with love.
