Walking with Shadows

                                    I walked alone.

                 My only companion,a shadow.

  A shadow I was not sure belonged to me,

So unfamiliar this shadow was.

  And yet ,this shadow was my only friend.

              This shadow seemed cold at times.

                                As if it resented this lonely walk.

           

                 I was not sure I disagreed.

Very shadowy one, hehe!

Nice form, reflective and something we all feel at times. I do wonder about one line though, "so unfamiliarthis shadow is" I think it should be so familiar to my way of thinking, having seen it many times in my life. Up to you though! Thanks for sharing. Patrick

To your wondering...

Sometimes I feel as if I don't know myself.Those times when your confused about who you are and want to be.That is why unfamiliar is used. Thanks for the comment. Lacy,
