Shadow- Squiddy Geiger - August 22, 2012

Pretty in a subdued fashion
Hiding from the limelight
Friendly with all who address her
Never initiating conversation

Lively mind behind bright eyes
Filled with sad reticence
All who know her like her
Reticence brings consternation

Witty repartée when caught by surprise
Her armour out of place
She quickly covers, returning to
Her quiet contemplation

Loving tenderness reserved
For her four-legged feline friend
Who never asks what ails her
No need for examination

Wiser than her years should show
She alone knows the reason
What shadow crossed her path
Bringing such isolation
