Shadow, I only know thee

        as soul moves into awareness.

Shadow, I only know thee

        as Sun stands tall behind me.

 

Soul, listen to thee calling in the red, orange and yellow

        to comfort Shadow.

Soul, become the kaleidoscope of a microscopic Sun.

 

Sun, play hide and seek and then go to sleep.

Sun, guide and scold knowing joy is to behold.
