Shadow
I often have been thinking;
My shadow is in me
Or I am in my shadow?
Whenever I realize
The answer lands
Upon my thoughts that,
If I am
In the rays of lights
My shadow works
And becomes my companion
If I am
In the darknesses
My shadow rests
And disappears,
Defining and inspiring
Visibility and invisibility
Within one entity
