I am content
In the shadow of your love
For your thought in mine
Fits like a glove
***
A shadow may lead
Or follow behind
But it never strays from
The discourse of the mind
***
A shadow sprawled towards the west
Means dawn is crawling from its nest
A shadow lengthened to the east
Means soon another day has ceased
***
A shadow is merely an echo
Of hard matter existence
When your shadow touches mine
I offer no resistance
***
Today the north wind
Jeers and laughs
Tussling tree-shadows
On the grass
***
You and I
Make beautiful shadows
Together
