Poem by Joanna Svensson

I AM MY OWN SHADOW’S SISTER

I am my own shadow’s sister
We know each other very well
She is with me
Every step I take
Where ever I may go
Even though
You sometimes can not see her

She is own comfort’s sister
Tha only one
I still can really trust
She knows me very well
And I know her
I feel she’s mine
Only mine

And so we wonder
Through our lives together
I, who am my own shadow’s sister
But sometimes I really do wonder
If maybe
It’s the other way around
That she is me
And I am her
In that case I must be
Just the shadow of myself!
