The Role of the Shadow

The role of the shadow The dark night sky passes Behind the rising red sun's back The shadow cast is It is the hopeful shadow of everyone who starts the day. The back of the blue beach The shadow cast is The shadow of the laid back Behind the pine trees towering over the cliffs The shadow cast is It is the shadow of those who have suffered and endured Under the willow Behind the blue lake The shadow cast is In busy daily life It is a shadow that shows the desire of those who want to rest. Through buildings in the city The shadow cast is The shadow of the times and the shadow of those seeking happiness After sunset, my back glows The shadow cast is Whose shadow is it?
