your shadow

i am your shadow
we are bound by light
the sun reflects on the moon
and i am sewn to you
your arms and legs
limbs
contact
we cannot separate
though distant
and disparate
we are closer than
the air

i am your shadow
we are bound by light
sometimes taller
sometimes smaller
always present
in the glow
the sun
provides

i am your shadow
we are bound by light
no night can separate us
distant stars
may shed
from the sky
and lose their life
but

i am your shadow
we are bound by light
and i am glad
the sun has
sewn me to you
