Shadow
I have searched all my life,
to find my place in this world.
Trying to figure out
who I was born to be.
Now I realize,
I don't have to have the spotlight.
I just want to be a shadow,
behind the Savior of this world.
I will be the shadow,
so the world will see His light.
Because the shadow does exactly
Whatever its Master does.
I will only be a result
of the Light cast in this world.
I will never be more than I was meant to be,
only a shadow of my Savior's glory.

Poetry: Shadows
by Simply Susan
Shadows of the night
Somewhere in a distant dream,
stood two shadows of the night.
At the edge of split perception,
being bathed
Absent light
Stains on a wall
Take human form
But twist, Distort
They move and dance
But have no life
Hollow imposters
Shadows in the Night
Shadows haunting in the night.
Playing games in the moonlight.
Keeping all the shapes I see
Deep within
As I gaze into the light of night
Shadows emerge upon my sight
Some bring thoughts of sheer delight
Some are scary in gruesome
by Sandy Virtue
Shadow Tag - A Childhood Memory
Whispers of footsteps cross my grassy path,
As I kneel in the shadows in the full moonlight.
