There is something about a shadow
The way it follows along
To the side, far behind, sometimes in the lead
It is always there
Its dark silhouette embracing the moment
Dancing as we move
Living the life it has been given
Not a care in the world
There is something about a shadow
As if it knows something that we don’t
It tells a story
It opens the imagination
There is no design
No face or character flaws
Nothing to judge
Nothing to put down
It is just a shadow
A darkened silhouette
With nothing to lose
But everything to gain
It is full of grace
A blank slate to create
Draped against an earthy canvas
Waiting to be painted
Painted with the images that we want to see
There is something to be learned
For a moment in time
Seizing the day
Some think upon night fall it runs
But it is still there within the dark
Waiting for the right time to appear
Living with what it can
Some hide in the shadows to be unseen
But shadows are never truly out of sight
Just a darkened silhouette
Embracing the world around
Living in the moment of the littlest light
Letting those see what they may
Holding tight to the secret of life
A shadow is amongst the strongest grace
