Secrets of the Shadows

Shadows are pretty sweet as shade from the afternoon sun yet it is shadows that we fear while out on an evening run.

We run away only to realise, they are part of us. Wherever we go, our shadow follows.
Except when it's the night and we realise our cold lonely souls cannot find peace without seeing them for we all fear the unknown.
