-- In Silhouette –

John Herlihy

 

In silhouette

Only an outline in light

Deepening darkness

As in the passage of night

In shadows

Only visible in traces

As in the blindness

Found in empty places

In the darkness

Only whispers heard

As in outer space

Only silence heard

In silhouette darkness bright

Shaped by a trace of light
