Steadfast Cast

I stand by my shadow he’s done nothing wrong.
So then, why does he fade, draw thin & grow long.

He has stood here, by my side, my whole life thru.
Hiding only nights & each day 12 to 2.

I can’t even compare family & friends.
Loves haven’t come close to the time my shade spends.

Still, some would think me a sad & lonely soul.
Yet, I enjoy my company…it takes no toll.

I can make eye contact with myself in a mirror.
Can you sit in silence & come out clearer?

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
