Sometimes my shadow is a hurt child

Hiding behind me

Lacking the features to show how frightened she is

Sometimes she is bigger than life 

Leading the way

I'm naive in the ways of the world

Compared to my shadow

Sometimes she is no where 

When she is lost so am I

Wandering around 

Searching for the sun  

In the shade

Curled up in twilight

She wanes like the moon 

Her delicate sway

Hypnotic

Her grace not mine

She is as rare as the world

Equally fair

Her innocence endearing

Callow but earnest

But she knows more than reality

Enlightened

She is stark but intricate

Aren't we all
