Christina Batten Poet I do not know?

Shadow #2

Like a lion on the prowl
in the bush waiting for their pray

      A Shadow I Am
 
 The excitement 
on a babies first birthday
      
      A Shadow I Am

 The bond of marriage
a blissful love
       
       A Shadow I Am

 A crying friend
caressed by all
         
       A Shadow I Am

You can't see me
You can't love me
you can't hear me
You can't touch me
You can't feel me
You can't hold me
You can't celebrate me

                    FOR A SHADOW I AM
