Value of Shadow

No shadow you can expect; Awful, the day has been. Some did not like it at all; Everyone was feeling upset. No shadow to see nowhere; For the morning, the sun aborted. Cracks in the wall, vacated they were; Could come out, no lizards. But only the sun’s warmth; Invited lizards’ tribes to adorn the walls. Shadow I could see for God’s sake; That enticed the sun’s first light for us. Humans and non-humans, happy they were; Warm smiles on lips, the shadow has brought. Kind whispers, trees' leaves have initiated No sun, no shadow; no warmth, no lizards; Shadows have value lizards can better describe. Poem by Mugisho N Theophile
