Tragically, your shadows have disappeared.
The sun, refusing to shine upon the discontent,
no longer illuminates your surroundings,
creating the boundary of lifeless shape
that now is your shade. I'm sorry, you're
frayed, you've begun to fade..
      I can't save you from yourself.

I wouldn't, nor would anyone else
for the slip into discontent,
(and you, I must say, did so quickly relent),
is not a road taken by a poet of worth
instead, there's contentment,
      in the sharing of words.

You'll have no company, there, all alone
in a place without shadows,
      where the sun's never shone.

I like the title, and the last stanza above makes me wonder: it is so true, what would it be like to be in a place with no shadows, and the sun doesn't shine. That's what defines life - sun and shadows.
