I walk the walk
I've made friends with the shadow
I need nothing else
we're buddies, he and I
we bare ourselves
to the cold wind
the one they sing about
Mariah
the days are long
nights they stretch out
still . . .
I walk the walk
it's all about the walk
and friendly shadows

Another insightful poem by you, dear Jerry. Your vision of the shadow as a buddy is quite enthralling.

And yes, it's all about the walk, the Path. This awareness is important indeed.

Very good job.

good to find solace with just you and your shadow, most times I find it to be the best company of all

and your Zoe of course

Thank you, Emma, as quiet as it is kept Zoe is my shadow. She is a special little dog. I know, everyone who has a dog, especially a house dog comes to that "special" conclusion.

I appreciate your thoughts about my poem, Margherita. The Path. Yes indeed, The Path. Sometimes we get lost on The Path, and that is when walking the walk comes in handy.
