This poem is written in response to a prompt by https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2021/10/06/tuesday-writing-prompt-shadows-of-our-past/
Shadows of the past
Been walking along everyday
Half in search, rest in vain
As lights of tomorrow, shine ahead
Shadows of the past
Seem to melt away
Some lost on the way
Some left behind
Some lost in the dazzling
Tomorrows light
Yet a few of them refuse to leave
Hiding in scars and healing wounds
As one turns to look behind
In those moments of solitude
You see them all faint and long
Always by your side
