Shadow Envy

Shadow Envy

A Poem by Neville

Shadow Envy

 


Oh’ how I envy your shadow

Forever by your side

 Yet never getting in the way

 

I wish our love

Could always be that simple

Until the very end of days

As a kid I would love it when my mom would sing to me the old Vaudeville song "Me and my shadow" til I fell asleep (coz I followed her everywhere lol)

This recalled those days *sigh*
A delightful love filled poem Neville imparting a big punch for it's size.

That would be nice wouldn't it? I seem to be that shadow that is a little to conspicuous, some times in 3D causing stumbles. This was a very reflective write my friend, loved it!

This is just too freakin simple & to the point & spot on! I love the way you make the most playful connections in your thinking about a topic . . . even more enjoyable than your word crafting! (((BAGS))) Fondly, Margie

Maybe you need a holiday... But thanks Pete regardless... We banished clouds in Somerset ya know :)
Love must be deep to envy a shadow and the the third line having a hint of sadness shows to my mind that love in this case is far from successful - - a sensitive write and simply compelling read..................Fay.

It is true... love is a shadow of all things shared... my favorite line is
"the shadow of your smile when you are gone... will color all my days and all my nights..."

This is delightful Neville. Love is never simple. I like this poem very much and am reminded that our shadow is not always visible.
