My Shadow Poem by CHRISTIAN Paiva

I do not know my shadow
For he looks the same to me
As the darkness on the ground
Cast by the cars and trees

I do not know my shadow
Not even his name
And why should it concern me
All shadows act the same

But no matter how I run
Or jump or skip and leap
He likes to follow closely
And my shadow I still keep

But when that day arrives
And I'm finally met by death
Perhaps then it will come to be
The day my shadow left
