shadows are beautiful a something, someone said
deep in the recesses of my mind where there were;
shadows, forming the contrast in the pictures
framing a cinematic mood
or in the cool of april chilling the green
summer sought they are
who seem to be merely the absence of glittering
light, a dark violet stain on the brilliance of the
grasslands, the oasis.
How wearing is the light in the glaring of the day
then we need shadows, shade
and thirst for them then.
the homeland of breezes.
they sang to me
not in the game of let’s pretend we are something,someone
better
beautiful shadows whispered to me
you do not need to be seen to be who you are
and I have lived that way
and am not ashamed of it.
