The shadow rises
To become the light
Temptation takes over
As we join the farce
But a piece stays back
Turning searchlights on
As we struggle to pin
Our shadow to the ground

Where shadows can’t go
Eyes open to a choice

The world or the whole
Our preference will decide
Rise or fall of the shadow
The shadow. A poem
When we emerge from the shadow...
