Ballet of the Shadow Squirrel by Joseph John Racano
Ballet of the Shadow Squirrel
Squirrel of shadows
Dance your ballet
Your arrival at midnight
I await through the day
Coyote your cousin
Wolf as your kin
Soft are your movements
Let the dancing begin
Lighter than air
Mysterious as night
You float like a snowflake
Darting in and out of sight
Squirrel of shadows
I must tell you true
I have naught to offer
One so perfect as you
But draw nigh the cabin
And whisper your name
A fox- or has Venus
Estranged from her flame
Squirrel of shadows
So fair and so frail
Conducting a symphony
With the tip of your tail
Your ballet of shadows
Now ends with the light
But meet me tomorrow
'till then, out of sight!
