My shadow is happier than I.
It only appears on bright sunny days.
Playfully splashing in crepuscular rays.
It doesn't know sorrow, envy, or pain.
It has no fear and has never seen rain.
Love burdens it not, it has not a care.
A wandering nomad who's neither here or there.
I dare not imagine of what he dreams.
A peaceful world alive with streams.
Perhaps one day he'll take me there.
To that place where I'm allowed no care.
