Moonlit Shadow

. Long ago, I was the child I was then. On silvery nights I roamed across the dark green lea Above, the moon hovered, and awe was all of me. I moved, it moved. I stopped, it stopped. I didn't know why. A guardian angel, perhaps, that egg yolk in the sky. On winged feet, I raced with glee, across the meadow to outrun and leave far behind my own shadow. Tonight, I am the child I was, again. .
