MY SHADOW

The shadows are long that reflect

silhouettes upon the ground

And for once, I too, stand tall

While it follows me around.

 In unison our steps keep time

And I feel we walk as one

But oh, how small I stand alone

Without the shadow from the sun.

 When in its' presence, I try to hide,

I find my efforts all in vain,

For on the ground, I see my image,

Until the sun begins to wane.

 Even though, I know you're me,

I'm not alone when you're around

For when I feel like six feet tall;

There I see you on the ground.
