A SHADOW OF ME

There's no-one around me

I'm all on my own

Except a shadow of me

Covering the ground:

And bonded together

Wandering around

With my shadow of me

Marking the ground.

I hear myself think

In silent surrounds

While that shadow of me

Never makes a sound.

A follower of me 

This shadow of mine

'till I become in the end

A shadow with time.

Andrew love the last line

Our shadows in a way make a mark in time
Or can be part of time

Telling us its time to stay or go or hold position

Love this one

Hi Andrew Yowee! This is good. No, better than good. Who'd have thought a shadow could be so faithful. Loved this one, alf

so lonely... :( I like it.. but it stirs melancholia in me. I wish for the shadow, to share the surroundings with another one :)
