My Shadow And I

Everywhere I go my shadow follows
In the bright sunny sunshine
When the sunset is set

This poem captures the constant presence of a shadow, beautifully tied to the rhythm of light and time. It is deeply reflective, a reminder that we are never truly alone, even as the sun fades.

"I love the gentle, playful feeling of this! There's something so comforting about the way you describe the shadow -- almost like a quiet companion through the day. Beautifully captured, Darlene!"

Lovely read. Shadows have been a great inspiration, in both poetry and music -- reading this lovely work, I was reminded of that song, Me And My Shadow. Shadow of Your Smile. Mine often guiding my hand, by candlelight, when writing poetry I think. Yep, candlelight great glowing inspiration. Love it! Every one your rights, deeply thoughtful and equally fascinating. Thank you, Darlene. Oh!~ a Fav!
