Shadows On The Road
Shadows fade into nothing
after days weeks months
spent walking hitching talking.
To people to unknown people.
To chance met chance greeted strangers.
Shadows fade into nothing
as you walk ever further down fated road.
A string of shadows; uniform lean; lamp-post silhouettes;
fade upon momentum approach, individually, singularly.
With sun aligned unity creating chance met shifting shadows.
Shadows fade into nothing
in illusive life nothing lasts ultimately.
even memories fade into shadow
places people come go eventually expire.
sharp transient pain signals momentous quick goodbyes.
Shadows fade into nothing
So much to see
So much to do.
Life put upon personified road.
Life as time encountered shadows.
Shadows fade into nothing
people perceived way they live look feel.
On chance met meeting; move moving constantly;
only get blended superimposed feel, personifying, transient place.
An echo exemplifying trajectory transitory passing shadows.
Shadows fade into nothing
distant places voices echo emphatically
never what's expected kaleidoscopic shifting moments
things taken for touch-stone granted
adjust to living then adjust illusions.
Shadows fade into nothing.
What was impression feel transposing textual sky?
Did a river feel as it looked?
Life lay in a bend in tenuity road.
People blend into terrain background.
Shadows fade into nothing
shaped by external elements
places faces races glad to see.
Places glad to ill-timed leave.
Shadow seen world shadow world seen me.
What's the world like? Mitch talked like
an American out to become 'an ancient mariner' stereotype.
