Three Sisters Live In The Shadows
Sleeping in the shadows
Where darkness stays
Where my reflection plays
In mere light of the moon
It is a positive reaction
To you
To the way you stay
Near me
As you breath
In my dreams
As our shadows play
And then all of a sudden
I awake
I am in a place where days turn new
Oh my gosh! I call to the heavens above
I do the things I do
Because of you
And what of love!
And I realise this reality
When the day turns anew
And I turn to you
I stay
But our shadows move away
And but all I am able to ask
Is a question
And the only mark that stays
Is a thought
When will They reappear again?
And again They are seen
But this time somewhere in between
One thought and another
Those shadows reappear
Near
They are sisters! I call
But there is noone who can hear
My call
As my mind draws them near
Their calls
Echo my voice like shadows seen once before
They are sisters! I hear their calls!
Three sisters live in the shadows

There is a story behind this poem and it is quite personal. I was at the local market on Thursday and had a look at some of the art work. One particular stall caught my eye even though it was dark and it didn’t have any lights, and I noticed a painting with three women who looked the same. I asked about it, and the artist told me that it was of three sisters. I stood and chatted idly for a bit for some excuse to just take my time and stared at it. There was something I liked about it but wasn’t sure what. Then after watching a video my good friend Lena sent me for inspiration just yesterday, one thing led to another as I made connections to our friendship and that of the triangular friendship I have with Gala, my dance teacher, and I wrote the poem.

I will post the link of the dance along with the poem soon. Now, off to bed as I am very tired after a long day! Good night and keep on dancing!
