Indestructible Threads

I met my shadow today.
She tied herself to my foot,
With a binding of gray silk.
"We'll be sisters forever.
Friends.
" She said.
"When the sun shines bright,
I'll be there.
When the light dims,
I'll be closer.
When the light goes out,
I'll be the closest I can be.
"
I remember this now.
When life is bright,
My shadow sister is there.
When life is dimming,
My shadow sister is closer.
When life gets dark,
My shadow sister holds me in a tight embrace.
"It's alright," she assures.
"The light will come back again tomorrow."
