The Shadow Hides Many Pretty Things

The shadow hides many pretty things,
but light is the chaser of the ugly darkness
as the desiderable sunlight shines on
persons and Nature alike!
Don't we all have:
a great necessity to seek a light,
however dim it may be...when it is frightfully dark
and roaring thunderstorms move on?

The shadow hides many pretty things
and wouldn't do any good if everyone didn't
suspect the harmful enemy
hiding behind it;  the shadow,
unlike the soothing light,
is merciless and ungiving...hindering us
from reaching tomorrow!
No,we shouldn't gaze at it timorously,
but consider it an invisible evil,
which must not grow...
yes, shadows are indistructible...
if weakness overpowers us!
