Darkness the Cannibal

A breakfast of sunrise,
clear blue sky luncheon,
and a supper of sunset
defeats darkness rising.
 
Shadows remain behind,
lying down buries their existence.

Total darkness is a cannibal 
that feed on lighter shade shadows.

Well done Vegter, darkness as a cannibal eating our better selves is a great image. I know my shadow is much taller and smarter than I am, lol. Have a good day.

I like how this crept into my mind. I can feel dark fingers absorb my thoughts.
