In the Shadow of Sunlight
In the shadow of sunlight,
shapes shift and dance around.
In ever changing patterns,
they move across the ground.
Some shadows tell a story
like inkblots on the mind,
but sunlight is the master
and shadow follows behind.
I don't always feel the sunshine;
Sometimes it throws some shade
onto my life's direction
and a detour must be made.
When the sunlight turns to shadow
and the path becomes unclear,
I only have to wait a while
for the sun to reappear.
So, shadow depends on sunlight
to brightly lead the way,
but they're forever bound together
in a dark and light display.
