No Shadow

Iike I  dimly recall now
  gratefully doing long ago,
    once again I shall gladly bask 

     in the faint light, heaving halo
        of the sunken summer sun 
          as thin shimmering shafts 

            cut my lengthening shadow, 
                but there was a time I guess
                  I was happily shadowless !
