My Shadow

Walking west;
cast behind me, late afternoon.
Un-see-able.
Like my past; behind me.
Must always follow; always there.
Even night may not extinguish your cast, just obscure it.
You will rise again with the sun.
(not spirit, nor mortal soul)
Constant presence at my side.
Walk with me.
From dawn til' dusk; ever-present, never fail.
Cannot shake; you match my stride unerringly.
One could not run fast enough.
Night is my only solace.
