Shadow Of My Soul

Suzanne Mondoux · 30 August 2020

I find myself in the land where all the shadows align In a place of wonder and illusion where wizards reside I search for the homeland where the shadow of my soul resides Which of the wizards am I Shadow of my soul forgotten Shadow of my soul the wonderer Shadow of my soul the illusionist

In the backyard of my dreams where the lights dim In the foreground of my imagination where the sun rises In the shadow of my soul where I lay my head to rest How far do I need to go to forgo the light that casts a shadow on my soul What’s the illusion of this show Who is the imaginarium of my puppet show

In the shadow of my soul I step aside I stand still, I watch my shadow dance left to right I look beyond the setting sun into the heavens far and wide Unusual sight these peacocks flying by The puppeteer of my imagination stands near Stepping into the shadow of my soul I look up and find my hands on the strings

In the shadow of my soul I look down at my feet Tap dancing to the strings Catching a glimpse of my illusion The wizard reveals the magic The illusion dismantled In the shadow of my soul I look behind the curtain I am the forgotten wizard The wonderer and my illusion
