"My Shadow" ᵃ ʳᵉᵖᵒˢᵗ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ²⁰¹⁷,ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵃᵈᵈᵉⁿᵈᵘᵐ ᶠᵒʳ ᵖᵉʳᵗᶦⁿᵉⁿᶜᵉ

My shadow leads me forward,
If the sun is at my back.
It joins with me at my feet,
The soles of which are black.

Sometimes it is distorted,
Sometimes it’s crystal clear,
But always it reminds me,
That I am real and here.

In some ways my shadows,
Are much like my reflections,
They have my basic shape,
They follow my reactions.

My reflection is better,
It’s what other people see.
It is so very liberating,
Always being me.

"Perhaps in these days and times, we need to be reminded that

"we are real and we are HERE"
HERE in this moment
HERE for each other (if we'll only allow this to happen)
What greater purpose can we serve, than to serve each other?"

If you are religious, there are ample examples in the bible where
We are directed to be this way, and do this for each other,
As a means of serving HIM
