Moonshadow

After Yusef/Cat Stevens

 

I’m being followed.

Are you being followed, too?

 

It’s a moonshadow

always following me.

 

My body is fragile. As time goes by 

I may lose the use of its parts.

 

It’s a moonshadow

always following me.

 

If that happens, I will also lose connection

with parts of my life. My world will be smaller.

 

It’s a moonshadow

always following me.

 

I will use whatever parts remain

accessible to me to fill my life.

 

It’s a moonshadow

always following me.
