I drag my shadow
which grows longer with each year
or does it drag me?

Hmm! Let me think on this one...
I believe that shadows get longer as the sun sets in the horizon. I suppose you could also apply that premise to ourselves as we age. As for your question of whether you are
dragging your shadow or being dragged by it,
I believe it depends on which way you are facing!

~ hugs for another gem!

fantastic look from two perspectives...it might depend on the day and one's energy level and internal spirit...perhaps both could be the case

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thanks passing not an easy one to answer either

Inked I'm not sure either thus the poem. a litle free will a little devine intervention perhaps..no idea

Seymour agreed, glad u liked it

Kacy you're a gem.

EA "that premise to ourselves as we age" is exactly what I was after, as for the question
who knows..

VAS good points it does depend on the day doesn't it.

thanks everybody for your thoughts
