Shadow

Marjorie Allen Seiffert

From “Gallery of Paintings”

LIKE the flickering shadow

Of birds flying

Over a wide meadow,

Something passes;

Some forgotten or untold

Dream flies over,

Its wings brushing

Lightly against me, as rushing

Fingers of wind touch clover

And bending grasses.

I am cold

With the shadow of something dying.
