In the shadow of oneself.

In the shadow of oneself.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The epitaph read:

I want you to
know one thing,

I existed

so don’t look
for my shadow.

Such an impactful epitaph. Really packs a punch., as did this one. "underneath this sod lies another". A very old one from a wife to her husband :))

Haha that’s has comical, satirical but sad undertones like I know you so well.
wow those are such haunting profound words. I could totally imagine someone wanting to put them on a headstone in a cemetery. Thank you Andrew, this was a nice read.
