Shadows of Life

The shadows pervade the landscape as dusk slowly covers the sun. Playing trick on one's mind as they darken and deepen. Night is so different from day both in its mystery and its night creatures that walk the land in cover of darkness. People live different life's in its deep blackness, hidden from sight, foul things regularly occur. Some slip through life yet leave no impression. Others are remembered many generations later. Like many, a shadow in old friend's minds that gives a gentle nudge of memory. They remember me briefly as their own life's move for ever onward. Yet, too, I live in sunshine basking I walk this day lit land with joy in the warmth of the glorious beams. Drawing strength from the written words. Knowing that unlike shadows they will live on possibly for eternity. For countless people to enjoy the words that we pen today.
