MY LAZY SHADOW
It follows me, yet walks alone,
A part of me I've never know.
It drifts through life without a care,
No weight to feel, no cross to bear.
It doesn't strive, it doesn't cry,
Just lingers softly, passing by.
While I must fight to find my way,
It fades beneath the light of day.
But still I sense it holds a truth-
A tired ghost of restless youth.
Perhaps it know what I ignore,
That rushing life won't make it more.
So now I pause, and in its shade,
I find the peace I Once betrayed
For even Shadow's, slow and still,
Can teach a heart to bend it will.
