Shadow
I shall grow out of the ground at your feet
Like a shadow at sunrise.
I shall protect your young growing grass
From the searing of the scorching sun.
I shall keep your children cool in my shade
And I will grow only outwards from you.
Without you I will fade into dull greyness
Grow hazy, indistinct at my edges, lost,
Invisible when your clouds cover up the sun.
Without you and the sunlight, I am nothing
I disappear when you walk into the shade.
