Poem prompt: Shadow

Another two faced figure, ideology, or a concept.

Whatever you wish, no interpretation is set

in stone; each, his own, and free to explore

the various options and open all the doors--

and the funny part?

Each of those pieces of wood

will have shadows of their own as we would.

So is this amazing word with a million meanings

summed up as following, mindless being?

In a way, yes.

It attaches itself to an already existing item

and it bends and twists to follow them
like a mindless follower
who still bends the rules. It follows a
thing, person, animal, whatever,
it doesn't pick who. Just whoever
happens to be under the sun at the time.
So the sun dictates its life?
Yeah, sure, that's right.
