Shadow of life
In the shadow of life, we find solace
A refuge from the harsh light of reality
Where the darkness wraps around us
Like a warm embrace, comforting and familiar
In the shadows, we can hide
From the judgmental eyes of the world
Where we can be ourselves
Without fear of being exposed
The shadows hold our secrets
The things we keep hidden from others
Our fears, our desires, our regrets
All safely tucked away in the darkness
But the shadow of life is not just a place of hiding
It is also a place of reflection
Where we can see ourselves more clearly
Without the distractions of the outside world
In the shadow of life, we find beauty
In the simple things that go unnoticed
The way the light filters through the leaves
Or the way the rain glistens on the pavement
So let us not fear the shadows
For they hold the key to our true selves
A place of peace and understanding
In the tumultuous sea of life's chaos.
