Confronting Shadows

Look closely at shadows following you 
shading footfalls with a soft Lapis blue
Bits of yesterday mixed with tomorrow
Shadows reflecting days we could borrow

They belie the memories that we find
in their whispers of all those left behind
moments becoming shadows of our days
twisting, turning as our hair fills with greys

Shadows of moments that we now regret.
Promises that became waves at sunset.
Shadows of life we would gladly repeat.
A perfect world where we could again meet.

Alas, like shadows, wishes never last
As we hold them, they fade into the past.
Shadows mirror time, bending now with age
In life, shadows fall on every page. 

Confronting shadows, I study each one
There are many I have kept from the sun 
It's too late now for changes to be made.
When shadows occur, I'll put them in shade.

Nicely written Ann. No one can change the past even one iota. Best to keep those shadows in our pocket and move on. Life's too short
