Two Shadows - In Sorrow Square

Feeling down...and feeling out So, I took a walk...about By myself...with no one there All alone...in Sorrow Square I could've sworn...I'd seen a ghost As I stood...beneath the lamppost There were two shadows...that I could see One from someone...and one from me I looked behind...I looked around There was no one else there...to be found All by myself...and all alone I saw the lord's name...etched in stone I felt his presence...in the breeze And suddenly...I felt at ease That ghost, I thought I'd seen...I swore It was god's shadow...that I saw Feeling out...and feeling down He'd thought, it best...to be around The two of us...in Sorrow Square I thank, the lord...for he was there Beatitude Poetry Contest Sponsor: Beata Agustin
