"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 ...

This indeed was short, sweet, moving and beautifully written all in the same time. At first I thought this was about MJ, but the more I read it became clear. Thank you for blessing us with your powerful words Photo. keep Doing it!!

your writing takes me back to sleeping in my twin bed in a full house on a friday night. When the old folks are playing spades in the other room frying chicken and talking trash. I miss home and I've certainly missed your writing. I guess I need to sneak my head in here more often.

((( 2 ALL of U ))) --


My grandpa was 6'5 ... so for a lil' kid, he was hella big -- *Gigantic Even* --

In my eyes, he could see "over" mountains and touch the clouds ... I wanted to be TALL like him and see EVERYTHING too -- (or so I thought).

I'm a lil' over 5'8 now -- and I don't think I'll be growing much anymore unless it's sidewayz -- ... but besides a lil' bit a' wisdom, I inherited his height -- (hence the Redwood Tree references).

With folks dying left & right these days ... I just wanted to acknowledge the Tree that this nut fell out of! -- *chuckles*

... again, thanks for your love & acknowledgement ... *I Appreciate You*

^This^ was just a quick "brain~fart" spit off the top ... but I haven't put anything on SOUNDCLICK in quite awhile ... My CoolEdit program expired and I just let die
... ( It was bootleg anywayz -- )

I guess I succeeded at what I attempted to do ... thanks to gsquared and his boy ... and then I kinda lost interest -- *shruggs*

Thanx for the peep tho, boo -- (I appreciate you) ...

hey I read this before and didn't reply, it took me a couple reads to get what I think is it. very deep and heartfelt. correct me if i'm wrong but the three steps behind his shadow could be interpreted as grandfather(1step) father(2steps) child(3steps). child being you? I dunno maybe I read too deep anyways I'm keep checking for ya joints, I like to be challenged through poems. And deeply sorry for your loss. PEACE

My goodness ... you're perceptive! -- (I didn't really think anybody would catch that so I dismissed it as filler) --

>the three steps behind his shadow could be interpreted as grandfather(1step) father(2steps)
>child(3steps). child being you?

My writings can be so eclectic sometimes, one never really knows "where" I'm comin' from --

But I appreciate your delving into the translation/interpretation.

earlier this past week and smiled. I'm glad to have some memories of him


this right here:

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) ) )


is very beautiful, solid ending, Photo... great poem.
