Your Shadow

 

Far away

You have traveled

Leaving behind

Your shadow

 

That touches

My hands

As I work

About the house

 

That stands

Beside me

Like a pillar

For my support

 

That caresses

My resting head

Smothered

Inside your pillow.

 

Far away

You have traveled

But leaving for me

Your love.
