There Is No Shadow Like the Sun

There is no shadow like the sun For sun and shadow are but one One is subtle one is none If I count them thus to be Sun and shadow thus indeed Both become! Shadow and the shadow’d sun Shadow and the sun There is silence and there is sun Yet both are shadows when undone There is silence and there is sun Both are shadows when undone There is silence and there is sun Both are shadows when undone Sometimes in passing it is best To love no other when bereft Like shadows of the sun are left To leave no shimmer on those left Lest whats left is found bereft The shadow and the shimmer but not the blest

Dear Bruce, "There is no shadow like the sun." But there is one notable exception to this generalized rule of thumb, "There is no one like Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son." Terrific poem by the way! Keep writing and keep the faith! "Faith can move mountains."
