drifters’ melody
I see us there,
still tracing our lines,
A fractal caught
in the same design.
The shadows have stretched,
the layers have grown,
Since the days of secrets
we called our own.
You may see a fool
for the way I run,
But I am the shadow,
and you are the sun—
Two parts of a pattern
that won't untie,
No matter the distance
or how many years drift by.

Cryptic this is a beautiful and insightful poem that speaks to me.
"You may see a fool
for the way I run,
But I am the shadow,
and you are the sun—"
What a wonderful way to place the tie between two. Metaphoric for sure and so more applicable in that light. Nicely written and a fave my friend

My friend, this reminded me how some relationships remain quietly present even when years pass between them. That idea of being part of the same pattern despite drifting apart feels very real. You captured that lingering connection beautifully. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
See, I went straight to fishing!
Drifting for flathead.
Then it hit me. Amazing where this stuff can take you.
Nicely done, your a champion.
''But I am the Shadow and you are the Sun ''.
