My shadow follows everywhere <br />in bright light, he is clearly there, <br />but in the dark I see him not. <br />He is still there, I know, <br />that shadow that will not go. <br /> <br />My shadow follows everywhere <br />when I walk or just stand and stare. <br />Shaded from the loving light, <br />how do I know that he is there? <br /> <br />My shadow follows everywhere <br />sometimes forgotten, he is still there. <br />Always hiding from the light, <br />that shadow that is never bright. <br /> <br />My shadow follows everywhere <br />on the street and on the stair. <br />And most strangely, I declare, <br />I would be worried if he was not there. <br /> <br />My shadow follows everywhere <br />whist in this body, I mind my cares. <br />But in the strongest, inner light, <br />I find my shadow disappears.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-shadow-17/
