Notice how the focus gradually changes, with later verses focusing upon the concept - of a shadow as representing a malign presence (in physical form).

I love that there was no ring of hope to grasp like in the first writing of yours I read. Sometimes we have to just end up in the maw. The shadow on the floor. That feeling can be totally cleansing.
Very Stephen King-esque. I love his stories with vile endings.

Thanks, and good to know. Speak later this evening, and pleased that we're in touch.
I liked the numbering here. I was ready to read the list of different meanings and you offered them in brevity and depth. Shadows are everywhere and everything. Nicely done!

I wrote this one very quickly, and almost decided not to post it; such were my doubts. It seems to have been quite well received around here, anyway. Thanks for the review, Seriana. I think that you're a very eloquent writer, with your choice of words; by the way.
I enjoy shadow writes, a favourite theme of mine. A most entertaining write and I too like ghost stories, supernatural from authors of old up to 1970. Alger on Blackwood, Derleth, Dahl,Poe etc.
Someone has mentioned this, but I love how there is no hope whatsoever, the speaker, or the person you are speaking about, is gone, that's it, sometimes the fact that people believe every piece needs hope or something to keep them going especially in writing. I also love how the shadow is helpful for one yet deceiving for another, gorgeous work.
