SHADOWPLAY!

My shadow gave me company, -
Through the entire light of day;
To leave me all by myself, -
When daylight slowly melted away!
I lay lonely and forsaken, -
Buried deep in my thoughts;
My shadowy self had merged with me, -
That truth which I had forgot!
But one day when I shall depart,
Out of the darkness to that lighted boulevard,
My shadow shall re-emerge once more, -
As my true companion as before!

Poets have been fascinated by the interplay of light and shadows throughout history. This is an enchanting example of that fascination. Your last lines are uplifting to the spirit. 10+, Raj. Always your friend, Sandra

Out of the darkness to that lighted boulevard, My shadow shall re-emerge once more, - As my true companion as before! Wonderful thought process....so matured as well.For you Raj....10+
