SHADOW

I run along

My arms in the air

The wind whistling past 

Not a worry nor a care

I run fast 

And I fail to see

My shadow falters 

Invisible to me

With every hard stamped step

My being smiles

I feel whole

My shadow cries

Invincible is the word

With every burst of speed

I long to escape

My shadow cautious to flee

Faster and faster I run

No bounds no chains to hold

With every step forward 

My shadow grows cold

My feet hardly touch the ground

Running faster than sound

I hear no more rumbles and stumbles

I am deaf to my shadow's wound

Finally fastest, running no more

Gliding at the speed of light

I feel the weight being lifted away

My shadow crumbles without fight
