Me and ..

Me and My Shadow

Life in the world to undergo a drastic change
Only shadows and nothing else to rearrange.
The human form without substance and form
On to this sphere as a shadow the day we are born.

Shadows are flat without feeling and touch
Existence collated by a light source but not very much.
Time and toil different but that would be the least
With just shadows there would be no beauty
and no beast.

Time is given to all as the same
Shadows always function without feeling and pain.
There would be no total darkness only the hint of a pre dawn light
Shadows would reign forever in both day and night.

Fleeting shadows appear on the ground as they go by
Always flat laying down, and I have never seen one cry.
Heights and distance would have to be extrapolated in their time
It is very difficult to extrapolate when you only have one line.

Memories always to remind and shapes we can never forget
They have always been here but we cannot identify and or use them yet.
