ALIVE

THE SHADOWS

It was believed and said that shadows are part of us
An image of us in the dark.
I stand alone and my shadow is ahead of me.
Still in the dark, with a glimpse of light
I spot something that overshadows my image
The shadow that is not mine,
But is always with me,
In my coming and my going
In the midst of darkness.
The only shadow you need not know
But is always with you.
