The shadow snatcher swaps.

The echoes of today

will be the reality

of tomorrow's calling.

Make sure your shadow

is here today

for tomorrow

you may find

your shadow is

somewhere else.

For this black silhouette

is not mine that follows -

a shadow having 

a crooked hat

tilted forwards,

over slouched shoulders

a black overcoat,

and a dark cane.

I hear its footsteps

approaching.

Andrew... you have compared a shadow without
a dream to a life where touching is forbidden...
in a Garden blooming where fear is looming.
If only the sun would break through with a
cure to bring a world where we can be close and
pray in a Chapel where saints stained in colors
bless our souls and enrich our minds. truly, Pat

i could relate this shadow to the virus...stalking us...wanting to be alone without us.
