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
