ALWAYS A SHADOW



  The sun comes up, and the sun goes down,


   They're everywhere and always, make not a sound.


  Shadows from clouds, cast upon the ground,


  As the sun goes down, shadows all around.


  Shadows upon the mountains, in the early 
  Morning light,
  In the early evening, shadows that hide as darkness 
  Is in light.

  Always a shadow, shapes and sizes stretched out 
.  Across the land,

  Shadows of figures, like ghosts, phantoms here and there.


  Always a shadow, we carry this with every step we take,


  Always a shadow, even with the light still upon our face.

                                          Keith Garrett
