my shadow guides me

[328] my shadow guides me, a photo by Argon[one] on Flickr.

late afternoon sun
shines directly in my eyes
i have to turn to see
my shadow there behind

we walk for miles
my shadow and me
in silence
without words

the path turns north
my shadow
walks beside me on the right

its not until i see
my shadow there in front
that i know its not far now
my shadow guides me home
