Shadows

As the sunlight rises from below the lowest of the lowest sky…
Darkness softly recedes, turning sights into each days surprise…

Dewing drops glisten like stars of the night that too soon expired…
Creatures start singing, singing songs of solitude and lives tried…

Breathtaking is the beauty, many take this for granted, nothing to admire…
Shadows they live in, consumed with petty, making situations nothing but dire…

A world awaits our curiosity, it wants our attention, asking for inner fire…
Live the day as you would your last, each breath full of passion and desire…

Those that allow the light to hit their face, accepting of things that do what arise…
Those are the ones that smile, knowing deep in their hearts that they’ll soon never die…
