Time's Shadow

"Time is the thief you cannot banish." Phyllis McGinley Their shadows follow slowly behind them close friends sharing a moment in the sun disappearing into the floating clouds playing Hide and Seek among the branches They refuse, as shadow's do, to grow up to stand still and stop that fidgeting laughing as the wind tosses their hair racing ahead to splash through puddles Holding hands they engage in a mock skip drawing closer as the sun's moment fades close friends sharing a moment - drift apart withdraw into an ever graying dusk 11/5/2020 Quote Inspired Poetry Contest Constance LaFrance - Sponsor
