I read this poem and thought of Fish and Oriel, even though Fish is not a girl!   I am born at sunrise, my long shadow obscuring the path ahead.
 * Umbra **

At noon I am a midday man, each confident stride outstripping my scrap of shadow.

And as sunset approaches I shuffle, the weight of my shadow dragging me back by the heels.

When a child dies, her long shadow lingers and deepens mine.
