Running From a Shadow

I remember the days
When we looked at our shadows.
Such a simple thing,
And time simpler still.
And in our innocence we gave them names,
And each one, they followed.
We told their stories
To all who would listen.
We reveled in the wisdom
Of childhood everlasting.
But as time went by,
We tried to hide,
From the unknown,
Once given a name.
We found the mind,
But lost the heart,
And fell for the promises of strangers.
Now we we look for our shadows,
Our long forgotten friends,
But all that's left is a memory so faint
That we'll never be the same.
For without our shadows,
We cannot hope to have a name.
