The Shadow of Light

Here's a poem I recently wrote. You may read it and wonder, "What the heck is that all about?" I'll tell you next time.
-------------------------------

The Shadow of Light

The shadow of light mocks me.
For I cannot discern its face.
Is it taunting me
Or does it smile?

The shadow of light mocks me.
For I cannot escape this gaze.
It’s destroying me
And yet I stare.

The shadow of light mocks me.
For I cannot outline its form.
Is it truly there?
Does it exist?

The shadow of light mocks me.
For I cannot deny it’s there.
I suppose it’s real—
At least to me.

The shadow of light mocks me.
For I have yet to understand
how in its darkness
it shines on me.

The shadow of light mocks me.
But now I realize the truth
that shadow and light
must live as one.
