A collector's thought vanishes.

A collector's thought -

he who thinks

he has it all

has nothing more

than his shadow

in the end.

One gets lost

in a cast

of shadows

their footsteps

cannot be heard,

however they whisper

and spread.

I saw a shadow once,

it moved in time with me,

but all the time I watched it,

it disappeared with me.

Shadows do that, don't they? And yet I very seldom see mine out after dark ... must be too late for him.

I like the philosophical bent to this Andrew, well done.

Take care ... stay safe

Nicely penned Andrew. Made me think of that old song, Me and My Shadow. Hope you are OK.
