Young At Heart Poetry Vol 3 – Shadows of You

Shadows of you, dark and beautiful in color, it can be small, huge and tall

Shadows of you, different in shapes, it can be big, slim and fat

Shadows of you, solid by nature, it can be scary, funny, and shady

Shadows of you, unique, it can impersonate you and the things you do

Shadows of you, appears and disappears slowly but never can you catch up to it

Shadows of you, a companion that never leaves when you are down and lonely

Shadows of you, a friend that walks quietly with you throughout life’s journey and beyond
