shadows – v3

in the sunlight’s dying

falling toward the horizon

shadows before the night

adding dimension, form

something of the mystery

not in the visible, the static

the physical world, alone

something wondrous, beyond

in the shadows, the hidden shapes,

elongated at morning, at dusk,

whispers of the infinite

defying our comprehension

to stop and linger, to touch

to look more deeply in shadows

beckoning us further, to linger

to touch imagination

we people of dust

to think beyond the tactile

that which we can touch

in the shadows a chance

to glimpse eternity
