Of Shadows, Night and the Light

I wrote this late one evening when I failed to sleep.
I can't honestly say what it's about, other than as it reads... I must have been getting a little delirious.

Fall, Shadow.

Fall as you descend

in your attempt

to outrun the sun

and fall then

into the weary night

as you become one

with the contemptuous dark.

Take with you

my shape,

my visage in that

black mirror;

featureless and proud,

and sink with it

into the ground

so I may forever

roam atop the Earth

with only light

for company
