I Am A Shadow My #life in words. In the shadows I stand, in the shadows I move, time passes slowly in this dark place. I stare into the light of the world around me, time moves so fast there, On a crowded street I move, as all around me the world flows past like a torrent around a granite anchor on the river bed. In this dark realm of shadow sounds can't be heard, I see the faces of those that live in the light, I see them talking but never do I hear the sound, I try to shout, to be heard, but the shadows always steal my voice. Why can no one see me, does the light of their world blind them to the shadow beside them. Sometimes they glimpse a sliver of shadow, they screw up the faces, blink there eyes, and I disappear once more. One day, perhaps I too will feel the warmth of light on my face, not today, today I live in the shadows.
