Shadow Dance

Stealthily, the slithering shadows advance (Form: Terza Rima)

Shadow Dance



Stealthily, the slithering shadows advance
tracing arcane and abstruse runes upon stone
as dark and light weave in a ritual dance.

The silent sun slides ever onward alone
casting an imprint that dissolves in rebirth.
In passing, its gossamer presence is known.

An unending waltz of the sky and the earth,
a quiet communion that marks passing days.
It’s in the contrasts that we discover worth.

Patterns that morph into strange forms that amaze,
recall lost memories and capture our gaze.
