Shadow

If it won't leave me alone it's no surprise that I'm shrill

but to no avail, my shadow follows me still.

When sunlight reveals my frown, that only fills it with glee.

Yet on a moonlit night it never fails to locate me.

Until my shadow appears the only thing that is true

appearing in a flash on any wall within view.

 

But increasingly I realise that it is pleasing after all

to have such a constant companion, then I recall

that the only times my shadow has left me alone

have been the darkest times that I have known.

And so it fills me with delight to have my shadow about

for it completes my world, without a doubt.
