~The shadow that follows the stairways

I and my shadow abound the journey as I walk till all I am doing is,
Strolling down the avenue till no darkness is left till dawn arrives with me and my shadow only….Then as it is
Me and my shadow that walks upon the dark valley and only till it is,
Not a soul to tell my troubles too I find a corner to hide upon

And when it is twelve o'clock I know it is at the darkness of a night, so
We climb the stairs till I neither one I or my shadow can climb no more so…..
We never knock and not an answer and to find
For nobody's there to wonder what and why this is
Just me and my shadow…..so where is my friend all along to see
All alone and feeling blue it was only myself and my shadow walking
This, dark stairways to a never ending stairway….. To see my shadow

Breathless;
Beautiful poem-just remember you are never alone as long as your shadow keeps you company.
