  • Master Shadow/Mistress Reflection

    Master Shadow speaks to me
    I hear his whisper
    It’s brighter than you think
    It makes me drink
    From the fountain
    From the spring
    Wherever Shadow leads
    I will follow
    Into the town
    Into the hollow

    When I arrive
    She is there
    Madame Reflection
    She knows who we are
    In which direction we will go
    In search of tomorrow
    Or in the past’s serene sorrow
    When she reveals 
    I may seek
    To run retreat
    Or step in deeper

    Master Shadow
    Mistress Reflection
    Make mistakes
    Make corrections
    Show me darkness
    Give me light
    One by day
    One by night
    In the gutter
    In moth wing’s flutter
    Lamplight’s son
    Mirror’s daughter
