SHADOWS AND LIGHT
light is not always kind
sometimes it exposes too much
like grief tucked beneath a smile
or love we pretend has died
but shadows
they carry us gently
they let us break in silence
without asking for an explanation
I have learned
that light needs the dark to be seen
and the shadow
is just the light, kneeling
so don’t curse the night
it’s the soil where stars are born
and even your pain
glows, when held gently enough
