within this silhouette

hand in hand...light and darkness must be shared.


The directive sun casts my soul
today…
as light casts a shadow
upon the sidewalk.
And it is within this silhouette…
that I surround my being
in all its brilliance.

As the sun journeys…
burning distance around the heavens…
my shadow also travels
slowly…
in the company of the days light.

Yet…
when the twilight amber of my thought…
realizes the sun’s decision to travel
beyond the promise of my physical transport…
awakening the light of new shadows
in another part of the world…
I disappear.

With no longer shadow for company…
I fly with mercurial speed…
toward the stars of night…
and the open arms
of the moon’s opalescence.

You've captured it well: after the "glare" of full day, there's nothing more freeing than that moonlight and stars of night.... I know I prefer it for creativity

The life given off by both of these lights....
We meet many suns and moons in our daily travels. Gravity is a wonderful attractive force between objects.
My very best

There is, I believe, a lot more to this poem than shadows. My insight is "our life."

This is beautiful and for a shadow, the life in it's existance suddenly has a voice. So beautiful that, when I walk outside here, I will respect my shadow.
