A Shadow of Me

Taller than birds, buildings and trees,
reaching out beyond, in the quiet leaves,
rising higher now than ever before,
reaching joy and touching wings.

No light, no display
It's winter now, not spring,
deeper,
darker now,
forgotten height of days before.

It's time to listen, take it all in,
Pause for now,
and then begin,
A shadow of me, once more.
