The sun warming on my back
my shadow resting on the track

My mind is shattered, tears still fresh
when will my troubles come to rest?

I walk along, am so detached,
my mind and body can't be fetched

My shadow moves, is all disjointed,
to my being it is appointed.

Its semblance, absolute a true reflection,
grey, hollow, face value perfection.

Like its owner its just a vision,
out of the light, to find, a mission.

Its true form is not discerned
for in the shade, substance, concerned.

Its sunny public face so real,
solid, believable but it does conceal.

The nature of a shadow, some say like me,
it's caged at night, and not set free.

In dimness, hiding and undefined,
unknown to any and most confined.

A shadow has but one public face,
it runs from shade, in a head long chase.

The sun warming on my back
my shadow resting on the track.

My mind is shattered, tears still fresh
when will my troubles come to rest?

wow, i was reading through this wondering if you could pull off couplets without putting in unnessisary lines just to make it rhyme, but it worked great with this, so groovy =) nice poem.
