Shadows

A play of light

Fascinates a child just as much

As it would an artist

Both would call it a shadow



Life has its varied hues

Shadows form a part of life too

There comes a burst of sunshine

From behind the shadows of sorrow

Illuminating all the happy moments

Banishing the darkness



Even the human being

Is of various shades

Characters vary

There are the transparent, innocent ones

And to counterbalance we have the shadowy ones

A mix and match makes up the universe



Then there are the seasons

Summer’s burst is vivid and glaring

Winter comes with it days of gloom

Shadows appear in it too



As long as there is light

There shall be darkness

And as long as these co-exist

So shall shadows
