Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Shadow of Life

"My shadow flirts with the sun"
 and I caress the light
 moving to and fro
 dancing here I go

 My shadow smiles 
 stealing a glimpse
 into things hidden apart
 a silhouette straight to heart

 Secrets held with the night
 an unseeable background take
 feelings not faked
 preluding permanent sight

"the shadow will soon fade"
 but I know as with the sun
 the two of us
 will be reunited again
