"Shadow Walker ... *short & sweet*" Thu Jul-02-09 01:27 AM by PhotoSynthesis
I stepped into his shadow SLOWLY Maybe three steps behind SINKING In a pool of perfection THINKING When I grow up I wanna be just like him TALL & TOWERING Like a redwood tree BLOCKING THE SUN While I skip and run to catch UP GIANT STEPS STRETCHING Across lakes of love & lessons learned I FOLLOW But stop abruptly A MEMORIAL TOMBSTONE Reminds me of his eternity I WAS "HIS" LITTLE SHADOW Until I grew into a Redwood tree MY BRANCHES Reach ^UP^ to the sun SEQUOIA SEMPERVIRENS Now I'm the only one ( ( ( Shadow Walking) ) )
RIP Grandpa
Note: He didn't die recently ... It's been awhile ...
