I came upon a shadow,
While walking in the dark.
A brave and mighty shadow,
All alone inside a park.

It lingered on a boulder,
Resting on the ground.
But quickly moved away,
When I began to move around.

How funny that a shadow,
Should loom out in the night.
Alone and unafraid,
With the moon its only light.

The shadow followed me,
All along the path.
We didn't get far,
Before I stopped to laugh.

For the shadow had me,
Caught within its grasp.
And I had it,
Clutched within my clasp.

How silly did I feel,
When I finally came to see.
The shadow had an owner,
For it belonged to me.
