The Merged Shadows
THE MERGED SHADOWS
We walked under the mid-day sun together
Blazing glowing furrows across life’s meadow,
The sun won’t shine long, we didn’t bother,
We trampled our shrunk shapeless shadows.
In the twilight gleam of the setting sun
Lengthening shadows defined our time diffuse
Reminding us a new journey in haze had begun,
We’d see our senile shadows sprawl and fuse.
When from us blue glaze of the sky would be gone
In falling light our shadows would mark the path to follow,
When the cold sun would start to sink down the horizon
We‘d merge and become the essence of soft shadows.
