hi shadow,
I haven't forgotten about you
it's just that some of the days
have been cloudy lately
and the nights really haven't been
all that bright either
but I know that you weren't really
that far away from me
you were right there, looking over my shoulder
and I could feel your smile
hear your voice
and hold your hand
so I know that you didn't forget about me
it's just life
it's like that sometimes
but as long as you're there
I'll always know that
I'll have someone to talk to
someone to laugh with
someone to share my secrets with
you know that it's always been you shadow

thank you. . .

I've never looked at a shadow that way before...but you're definitely right, it is like a friend...insightful and well done, I enjoyed this!

If perhaps a bit of sun
shall bring the shadow closer
here I am, now please do run
for that is why I chose her...

liked this!

This made me think of Peter Pan. Hope yours never gets lost.

Sven~
You brought to mind that little lilting nursery rhyme -

I have a little shadow
who goes in and out with me.
And what can be the use of him,
is more than I can see.


Love the thoughts wrapped up in this piece.

Shadow walking, soul talking, being with your closest friend, sharing your closest secrets with the one you harbour within;
well written Sven.

Hi Sven,

I have spent many an hour in deep conversation with my shadow, a very reliable and trust worthy friend, also one that never leaves you alone in times of trouble or need, this is a magnificent piece here friend, loved it, keeping it,

Love, Cerenity

Sven,
shadow walking, shadow talking
what do you know! He's shadow stalking
a shadow friend, close like no other
unless I could have this shadow lover  
write on

Sven dear heart, AD, this is utterly terrific, I love this image, I really love this. I always have been fond of shadows, at least they didn't swipe your lippy, clothes or anything else. Which or course the sisters all did. And they didn't answer back, this is a truly wonderful piece from you. Great comfort in having someone to always relie on. (Well, a shadow is a someone)
I love it which goes without saying, and it joins all the others there in my library
Thank you for this beauty
Take care love as always
