Look in the Shadow

January 30, 2011 by thegnosticpoet.

I’ve learned to look in the shadow.
One never knows what lingers there.
Perhaps stray light reflects a pair
Of eyes or teeth lined row on row?
Things freeze in the shadow, although
They also move with speed to spare,
Disappear even as you stare.
Would you expect to see them glow?
And yet, it’s why I’ve learned to park
My eyes on places that are dark.
The shining eyes, the glowing smile
May grace the shadows for awhile,
A rose may seek the sun’s bright mark
While greater lights may hide the spark.
