A pair of Fitz

In response,
and dancing with this theme,
these two Fitz 'fell out'.

Deliberately, I chose to illustrate how the 'title'
can be used to advantage. In the first I started
with a 'quote' and expanded. It came out to 56 words,
so I hyphanated one.

The second was too long, so I took the last lines (above 55 words)
and changed them into a title.

and Vi Jones said,
"I truly believe
that our shadows are faithful companions
and that one is never alone
as long as one casts a shadow."

'tis true as the sun-life is born at dawn,
and amber real in the death at evening;
but what of noon 'neath the sun's full glory?

What if our bound companion is not gone
but only masked from our perception --
reaching down to the soul of Mother Earth?

Would that I could only see again!

………………………………………………..

Must I venture on alone,
soul seared by the realities of life?


I can be alone, but never lonely
when you are within my heart and all;
or sorrowfully alone within a crowd.
For your laugher, little one -- my love,
cast a joyful shadow on my soul.
In its caress -- divine shade from chaos,
my finest thoughts emerge.

Yet in the darkness of your fear --

so alone!
