Poem: The Shadow and the Moonlight

                        The Shadow and the Moonlight

I see a shadow hiding

From the moon by candlelight;

Behind my hand he’s dancing,

But not for her delight.

Nearly, though, he shows her,

As the moonlight is eclipsed

By the candle burning closer

To my eager fingertips.

Ask, she may, for answers,

In this mindless guessing game,

Why the shadow never dances,

In the twilight of the flame.
