Poetry - My Shadow - By Randall Nelsen

-
I noticed it behind me, as I walked upon my way; a Shadow that had followed me, in the early light of day. The Shadow walked behind me, as the sun traversed the sky. I finally turned around, and asked the Shadow, Why? Why is it you follow me, as I go about my way? Who exactly are you, that you follow me this day?
My Shadow spoke to me it said, you know exactly who I AM, I lived here once upon the earth in flesh and form of man. I will follow you, I will never go away, though you may not see me as the sun begins to fade. Know that I have Risen, I AM in your Heart to stay. In my Light you'll find the Path, My Son will Guide the Way.
