I was walking with the dog -
The route we always take.

This time we stopped
where they built the new houses
for a short break.

It wasn't so short -
He got really old, you know? 

Sun in my back, and clouds in between -
my shadow was barely to see
until the sun broke through
and my silhouette suddenly got sharp.

As waking up from a dream,
I wished, I was as defined as the dark. 

After a while, we went back home to you
and I thought it’d be really cool
to write about what happened.

First, I was busy with some chores
nut I was able to put it on paper, in the end.
