Shadows follow us
where no one else goes
places of fantasy
that no one else knows

Only our footsteps
to tell where we've been
when the sun slips away
we'll do it again

Most days are trying
and often take hold
but when nightfall appears
the adventure unfolds

Seen in the light
of our ballroom of dreams
we two have the floor
...forever it seems


Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

Last two lines!

My Shadow, or just merely shadows have played a roll in many of my poems. I hearken back to the comic strip Shadow I read as a kid, then into movies, et al. Our Shadow. Never leaves us. Always there when the sun rises to reveal him. He is with us sometimes when the moon is bright. Our Shadow.

I'd sure love to find that "ballroom of dreams!"

Thanks for your comment Jerry. I've always liked the 'mystique' of "shadows", and apparently, so do you. Thanks again.

Just like Brad and Angelina. Got a song for them: 'Say Goodbye To Angelina.' The Drifters.
