Cast my shadow where I stand <br />Shade my eyes with soulful hand, <br />The sky so blue <br />Such joy I knew <br />But now I feel despair, <br />For those days have come and gone <br />But memories still linger on, <br />The restless breeze <br />That blows through trees <br />Will never send my prayer. <br /> <br />Cast my shadow far and wide <br />Fill the void I feel inside, <br />As evening falls <br />My hollow calls <br />Fall on silent ears, <br />My happiness shall never be <br />While no love or sympathy, <br />Horizon stark <br />As it grows dark <br />No comfort in my tears. <br /> <br />Cast my shadow on the ground <br />I know true love is rarely found, <br />I stand for hours <br />And watch the flowers <br />As days just come and go, <br />Still I wait as embers burn <br />Hoping that she will return, <br />For here I met <br />As sun did set <br />The only love I know.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cast-my-shadow/
