i know not the meaning of shadow
nor the depth and darkness of night
everything my fingers do touch
is covered in delicate light
i look out at my companions around me
the distance between us is great
never will i ever know
any possible friend or mate
i give light to the people
i give them hope when they see me each day
but never will they know
of my heart and my soul
and the things that i wish i could say

Contest option #1
i was in the car and i looked out the window to see long shadows on the ground, and then i wondered what it would be like to be the sun and never have the chance to see a shadow. the rest evolved from there.
