Shadow Song

My shadow is my very best friend; He walks with me for days on in.

We’ve traveled to the deepest places no one has ever seen.

My shadow is the only one who knows me. My shadow never gets weary or weak.

 He communicates with me, although he cannot speak.

When the sun goes down and he disappears from my sight, I know it’s only because he’s afraid of the night.

Great times we’ve had, running and dancing in the long lost summer wind.

My shadow knows no vice or sin.

And when winter’s wrath came and left me in the blistering cold, I hid behind my shadow to keep me warm.

At times, this world takes me for granted and mutilates my suffering and broken heart.

He stands there, taller than I; He gives me the strength to never give up.

I know there’ll come a time when my shadow will not be at my side.

When I gently close my eyes and will not awake from my dreams.

I will become my shadow and he will become me.
