If I were your shadow (first draft)

[backtoblue]

If I were your shadow
I would follow you anywhere-
Everywhere
You move, I obey your command
You dance, I follow your lead
You smile,
I melt into the shape of your lips

If you become a sailor
On the Pacific Rim
In a wooden canoe
Your boat, I take an oar
You rudder, I steady your grip
You swim,
I mold into the curves of your body

If you brave the hot desert sand
Of the Saharan dunes
In Jesus shoes
You step, I leave a footprint
You sweat, I taste the salt
You rest,
I doze to the rhythm of your breath



Edit: Im having difficulty writing poems that dont rhyme. This is a rough one and I know the "beat" isnt quite right.

Would love some pointers!
