The shadow proves the sunlight and measures the soul
Fleeting light paints pictures reflections only echo
Permanently unstable the shadow dances
Forever linked to source it can only respond
Wispy and translucent
Dependent and powerless
Absent of light we remember that nothing is firm
Foundations move
Dreams fade
Light turns to dark
And yet the shadow is alive
It casts the past and paints the future
Telling generations unaware of the time at hand
Hereto Father sits with Son cousins play in evening glow
The moment captured in pixels the only thing fully aware
The shadow of a Father sitting next to Son
Watching his Grandchildren play in the sun
The shadow now all that is left
Fleeting
