Shadows of Me

 
 
 



Shadows of Me

In the past and in the future,
through time's cruel waters:
Lonely Girl recites, proudly, for the spelling bee;
she lives alone in shadows of gee.

In the recess of Old's home,
through panels of glass:
the children set free, playing, under the gum tree;
Old lives alone in shadows of would-be.

In the confines of my mind,
through the fluxing of dreams:
lies the bitter trustee, buried, deep in the red sea;
and I live alone in shadows of Me.
