CAST AT LAST FROM THE PAST

I pray fervently you were my shadow
A silhouette sleek and narrow
As quickens the rhythm of my heart to bear
Should your shadow wish it might follow me everywhere
To never fade not even on cloudy days
You to be my shadow so wondrous in its ways
Inside and/or out
On a desert of doubt or in a pond knee shallow
Where fields are never found to be fallow
In the woods or on a meandering meadow
Where Autumnal leaves vie for space between yellow and red
Within the soul of all my days ahead
And those so long ago past
Dare do I to wish you were my lasting shadow cast
