Lost Shadow Poem by Patti Masterman

Lost Shadow

Rating: 5.0


I think I've lost my shadow-
Though I had it right behind,
I looked back there and saw it-
But now, can't seem to find-

It followed me through forests,
And along the clouded sea;
But suddenly, it's disappeared,
Though sun's bright as can be.

If you see my shadow,
Please send it promptly here,
It's twelve feet tall in winter,
But short, when summer's near.

No wait- I think I see it,
There just beneath my foot;
I guess I must have stepped on it-
It's peaking from my boot.

I hope I didn't hurt it,
Though it seems immaterial;
And nothing's ever touched it-
It's flesh ethereal.

I'd rather it be behind me,
Like it is on most the days,
For I'm the shade it lives in
To avoid the brightest rays.
