The Shadow

In the early morning fog

I see a shadow

Is it a man

Is it a woman

All I see is the shadow

Against the foggy mist

Perhaps it is

Someone waiting on a loved one

Or someone waiting for a ride

Maybe a madman bent on eivl things

For the destruction of many lives

A service member

Returning home after a tour of duty

Weary and drained

A street merchant

About to set up shop

Whatever the shadow is

It really has set my mind

To wondering

To pondering

The very question of it's existance

While I pondered

I look out my window

I see that the shadow

Is no longer there
