Chasing Shadows
Chasing Shadows
By: Miracle Man
October 27, 2020
Shadows from the passing clouds overhead,
some were fluffy while some appeared as thread.
Always seeming to scurry once on the ground,
only briefly would they pause and made no sound.
When as a child down the gravel road I’d run,
this was long before even low tech had begun.
Chasing shadows on the ground from clouds,
shadows that hung from invisible shrouds.
Today, I no longer chase shadows, I just seek a tree,
time and distance has left its mark on me.
The tree must be close, for I can no longer run,
a tree or covered patio let’s me escape the sun.
