A Shadows Gift

Can a shadow move 
across the sky 
while the sun is bright 
and rising high? 
I dare not contemplate 
the dark of the light 
the love in my hate 
the fear that I fight 
If I come to acknowledge 
all that is bad 
Must I forget all that's good 
the innocence I had? 
Both light and dark 
can corrupt my soul 
but it's what I believe in 
that can never be stole
