Shadows speak much
Silhouettes cast
Shading surfaces…
Shadows are not all dark
Sometimes they seem grey
Sometimes blue on snow
Soaked in skies of clear blue .
Shadows are not all tall
Shadows falling at noon
Shrinking into themselves
Seeming almost nonexistent.
Shadows not only keep time
Shadows change with clock.
Shadows are a step behind
Seen on opposing ends.
Speaking of art
Shadows and artists
Seem interconnected.
For an artist knows
To play with shadows
To light something up.
Creating contrasts
And dramatic depth.
Speaking of depth
Shadows hide within us
Sensing and keeping scores
Symbolic of the yet unseen
Still emerging in actions
Still evident even if unsaid.
Still granting form to light
Staying united at source.
Shafts of light may be seen
Shadows muted self
Subtly beautiful shadows…
Shadows can be beautiful
Sharp or blurry visions
Sharing wisdom from within
Shadows are not superior
Shadows are not inferior
Simply united at source
Shadows are part of us.
This piece of contemplation is inspired writing after a mention from my friend@Roshnii and her thoughtful tagging.

SMiLes Dear Savvy Without Shadows
Our Paintings Our Worlds Would Be
Without Depth and Proof that
We Don’t Even Exist for
Real Unless
Sunshine
Casts A Shadow Behind
Or Forward of Course
Even Spiraling
Depending
On How
We
Dance
Our Shadows
Follow Us and
Lead us into Greater Depth
With
SMiLes..:)
