Forward

the sun is shadowed overhead
as i walk this long path forward

the trees, twisted with thorns
the leaves black
and i look back
at Nothing

my shadow
walks its own path
falling away on either side of my

a single glance of light
is hardly in sight

the only form of something 
is a black crow 
which becomes my new shadow

for the sun is shadowed overhead
as i walk this long path forward
