A Winter Shadow

When I ran this morning  ,

My shadow was as dark

As ever ,

But it was as long as I

Have ever seen it .

The pole on the other side

Of the road covered the shadow

For just a second ,

But when the shadow

Hit the snow again 

It was even longer

Than the pole

And oh so much bigger than I

I sure could see my shadow .

In the winter snow

As I ran down the road

For when I run

I'm never alone .
