Shadows

Shadows bookend our lives;

Swimming in the warm, protective shadows of mother's womb;

Fearing the monsters lurking in the shadows of dark places;  

Resting from the hot sun in the shadow of a friendly elm;

Evading unknown places, unfamiliar spaces that cast shadows on the landscape of our existence;

Finding safety in the shadow of anonymity from the glare of public recognition;

Ignoring angry memories that hide in the shadowy recesses of minds darkened by the past;

Hiding from the great shadow of death in memories of youth and life.

Shadows bookend our lives
