catching shadows

makes me jump
the energy streams
batteries fully charged
can do everything
appetite like a bear
strength like a tiger
no mountains too high
no water too deep

and when my feet land
i slide on a slippery stone

no energy inside the batteries
cannot do anything
slow as koala bear
when i open my mouth
anything but a leaf is too thick
cannot jump
cannot swim

touched by this greatness
shakes me from within
the ability to be king
and a prisoner
costumes changed
at the speed of a thought

ebbs and tides in mind and body
waves of change for moods and mountains
at the speed of light
and the shadow that follows
