sorrowful shadows
silently slipping away
cloudy afternoon

sky-high curtains close
hiding the sun’s blazing face
silhouettes dissolve


fading away in
thin directionless gray light
a shadow can't breathe

voiceless make no sound
struggle for footing denied
a life forsaken


shadows love the light
without it they can't exist
a dark compromise

This is great, very atmospheric:) (Smile)

how do we know
whether we are shadows
or lights, or total darkness
to ourselves, and
to others?
