My Shadow

I walked a sunny street with my shadow, wishing it was you With every step I took, my heart beat two Reaching out my hand in cold air and empty space Longing to turn my head and be able to see your face Not a day passes, without these thoughts to return Through all the changing weather, my soul does yearn To feel your hand in mine, along this beautiful road My shadow carries the burden of words left untold Heidi Sands 11/17/19
