Celebrating Shadows

CELEBRATING SHADOWS

Shadows

 play a glorious role in

 the beauty of a sunny day

yet even when there is no bright light to cast them

(either in nature or in the depths of one's concern or grief) 
let the grey remind us that joy is there

though hidden for a time

bright sun, unseen behind the clouds

will break through again
turning shadows into beauty with its

Light

Same Tree. Beauty even in Grey Clouds and Storm

Shadow Treasure

SHADOW TREASURE

I settle in my chair to write a bit 

And notice a small painting playing on the floor

Leaves dancing back and forth

Seeping through the window pane

The sun is trying hard to cheer today

It comes and goes and drops its 

Treasures at my feet

Only to disappear again

CAPTURED
