Shadows Past- Tomorrow's Future

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

Shadows of those who are no longer here, some just friends and some I loved, seep into my dreams as if they are still here beside me. Is it a sign that I too will be just a fleeting memory (shadow) to someone else? Will you be just a shadow too?

Shadows Past- Tomorrow's Future


The past walks with me like a shadow which cleaves unto my soul.
Forward into the future I continue to march, eyes set ever ahead, Yet pasts shadow grows ever longer with each passing day ever so bold.

I turn and look. The shadow still remains. I stare at it and it looks back at me. Without effort from both my mind and heart I catch fleeting glimpses of ghosts as they pass through shadows way.

As I turn back away from the darkness and turn my eyes upon futures way,
I see tomorrow's sun but I hear the faint voices of yesterday.
Another day has passed as well as another friend who shall now join the shadow of all my yesterdays.

Someday, I too as well as you, will join the shadow of ghosts,
And we too will become someone’s memory of yesterday’s past.

This is beautiful. I find it comforting to feel those who love me most will continue to watch over me from both sides of the veil. And I like to believe that I will one day watch over my loved ones in the same way.

Hope you becoming a shadow of ghosts is, if it is to happen, quite far in the future...-e-

I believe in spirits and God's angels on high!
One day we will find out by his eternal Light! Amen
