The Moon, My Shadow And Me Poem by Randy McClave

The moon, my shadow and myself makes three
As we all walk together in the same company,
At the nighttime we go out as the friends that we are
Then sometimes we are joined by the fireflies and a star.
I run and I jump and my shadow is so much fun and a delight
He follows and represents my every move under the moons spotlight,
But, then sometimes the moon will disappear inside a cloud
Then my shadow will runaway, to where I am not allowed.
So then I walk all by myself as now there is only me
But, then a few minutes ago I was once in a group of three,
When I walk inside my house the moon will wait outside
Then my shadow will disappear as he has went to hide.
I am all by my myself when I am inside my own home
That is when I am scared and vulnerable as then, I am all alone,
When I am lonely I go outside to be joined by my friends
Where the moon and my shadow always attends.
The nighttime we enjoy so we go out together every night
Where we laugh and we live that time is our delight,
Then early in the morning with the coming of the rising sun
There is no longer us three, it is now only me; one.
