Me And My Shadow

By leathermenace

You call me your shadow. Well if this is so,
Its only because I hide what you know.
You go through your life and pay me no mind,
Until there’s a need for your bearings to find.

We work as one though I’m me and you’re you,
But you never mention the things that I do.
With just the right lighting I can lead your way,
To just what it was that really happened that day.

Remember this though while we both have a look
That it was for safety, when off we both took.
You just stay long past when the light is all gone
And as you know that’s when it goes wrong.

Remember too all your sightings of me
Are due to the light shown on you to see.
I am neither evil nor wicked of mind
When you look at me it’s you that you find

(please note)

This poem was added after I got the reply of "good"

I'm a perfectionist, I know I can bearly stand me too.

Great work as usual.
Wasn't about to just say good..heeeheee
Looks oddly familiar......pretty cool
leathermenace wrote on Feb 21
LOL The "good" was left before I went and got the poem that went with the image. I guess I should have added the fact that I edited the post to improve on the good, huh?
compromised wrote on Feb 21
yep..I had to go back and add to mine after I posted it too...thought a little music would add to the ambience.
leathermenace wrote on Feb 21
well i got to thinking about why I like the image so much and then I remembered the poem that I'd made it to represent. I realized I'd always associated the image with the poem.

I should hope so. LOL

Very nice! Good shadow pic! I have not yet done anything and I am tired after doing the stupid grocery thing and don't feel like doing much of anything.

Great shot! I have had songs about shadows in my head all day!

Hi Menace:
First thought in my mind when seeing your image was "Indiana Jones". There's even that mysterious inset face in the background suggesting menace and malice. Well done.

The purple really makes this stand out. Great shot.

Wonderful picture. I love the image of the face behind the shadow. This picture is much better than "good".

Absolutely cool! I love the purple and the feathering as well. Your poem is fantastic as well. I know what you mean where "good" isn't "good enough". Even without the poem, I thought your photo was vastly better than "good" as well.
