Shadows Dancing

By Stacey Militana

Shadows Dancing

Shadows come out of hiding

Feeling the warmth of the flames

They dance

Wildly they step to the rhythm of the crackling fire

Flames encircle them

They sing secrets long forgotten

Voices strong and bright

Shadows hold out their hands

Calling me to join their frenzied frolic

I dance with my shadow

Flaming and frenzied

We dance

No fear of the flames around me

My shadow holds my hand

And we dance in the fire
