Shadows of Light

Shadows dance in the moonlight
In the silhouette of the midnight sky
They dance and they dance
As free as the star studded sky
Invisible to the human eye
When the dawn breaks
They appear as innocent as
The first moment, the first breath
The first time their Mother they met
Shadows are full of the Light that fills them
With the life given to us all
For shadows are but mere reflections
That illuminate the path to the Light.
