Me and My Shadow

Me and My Shadow

My shadow walks
Behind me now
The sun long ago
Passing over my head
Allowing me an examined
Life of seeking the truth
Loving without strings
Learning to be patient
taking refuge in a smile
Cherishing hippie ethos
And trying to leave
A footprint of awareness
For me and my loved ones
To use as a soul guided map
A path through the labyrinth
We experience as the everyday
I loved the times of learning
The sun’s light warming me
With understanding and casting
My shadow before me to follow
And at some point in time
It seems the lessons were learned
And my shadow walks 
behind me now...
