JUST A SHADOW

Just a shadow, lost in time
Just a shadow, lost in my mind
Trying to find a better way
Fighting the pain of yesterday
Just a shadow in the night
Just a shadow of the light
Shadows casting across my eyes
Shadows hiding beneath the lies
Just a shadow from the heart
Just a shadow from the start
Shadow, come walk with me
Shadow, whisper, what do you see?
Just a shadow left behind
Just a shadow, trapped in my mind
Trying hard to break away
Fighting the pain of yesterday

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
