- Poem by Brittany Heavner

Whoever you are, I have seen your shadow next to me.
Nobody else has ever seen it, I'm afraid it's only me.
I see you everywhere I go, but only your shadow.
I have never seen your face, just the outline of your body.
I have seen the way your dress blows in the breeze,
and it reminds me of my past and what lies ahead.

Whoever you are, you are quiet and shy.
You keep some distance, but always pretty close by.
You may speak you mind, but in a soft-spoken tone.
You are not outgoing, but rather hidden in darkness.
As you walk next to me I shiver.
I never know if you mean good or bad.

Whoever you are, you are my inspiration to go the extra step.
When I see your shadow, I want to try harder.
I want to try and please you the best I can.
You escape into my mind, and take it away.
You take my mind to places it's never been--places of triumph and places of sadness.

Whoever you are, I want to meet you.
Your shadow defines you as a work of God.
I want to get to know you and talk to you.
I want to see for myself who you really are.
Whoever you are, you help me discover myself.
