SHADOWS

Two shadows on grass, elongated growing

Walking together on meadows of green

My shoulders much broader, your figure much slimmer

Two shadows together, with sunlight between

How far the horizon violet with shadows

As the sun drops behind us in welters of gold

My arms on your shoulder, pulling you closer

Making one shadow when twilight takes hold

And the moon is high now, the night is young

The silence, elongates this moment we share

The nightingale stops to stand and behold

A moonlit shadow a lovely pair

And while day breaks out of the anaesthesia of night

And the music of dawn says its time to go

My arms on your shoulder, pulling you closer

With no sunlight between, just a simple shadow.
