Shadowlands

My shadow
Weight bearer
Siamese twin
Glued at the heels
Cast aside once
When rain came
And shaken
from me
But found
One summer
As we departed
a chestnut wood
Standing tall
Late evening time
Out on Pitstone Hill
The giant strides
We made our own
And together we
Waited below
Sharing secrets
Of dark and light
Before day splintered
The sun to its stars
