Silhouette
Silhouette
Through opaque darkness, delving in the deep
as if to say life’s face we must forget
where shadows lurk in silent scenes to keep
an image not as bright in silhouette.
A blend of varied shades that is unique,
can be an outline of the sky’s sunset.
Smile-lines upon the face become obscure.
Are these emotions sad, proud or demur?
A silhouette combines both light and dark,
different yet very necessary,
a thing of contrast that stands out so stark
to form a work of art because they vary.
What peace on Earth if people followed art
and joining these two hues was customary.
An opaque solid color’s all we get.
The truth is blocked behind the silhouette.
