Shadow

Reaching in the mirror 

Perception getting clearer

Reaching into the heart

of darkness as the other 

                                        half

my shadow revealed to me

I'm still full of 

               good intentions

Did I forget to mention

I put the light before 

                    the thunder?

Now I see what my enemies have done for me. 

Cataclysm does not phase

Shadow casts the change 

the face to something 

that is not only part of me but  the place of my beginnings 

The remainder of my memory

My only daughter is the joker

My daughter is her father 

who's no longer with us

A shadow of a memory

Who's light and dark were 

were close to Godliness 

A holy man covered in ants

Taking on the plagues 

Our daughter trying to save

until her passion for God 

                               is ablaze
