Shadows

Ignoring the shadows is for those
who don't want to know the truth
you only open the doors you close
when you realize disappearing youth

Have you ever entered into a shadow
to see that which is not exposed in light
you don't have to be down very low
many shadows reach great height

Some light glares bright to distract the eyes
like when the sun shines direct on a traffic light
but with sunglasses, there will be no surprise
you put them on to shadow your sight.

So shadows don't always symbolize the dark
in great ways, they hold mere reality
those things that cannot stand stark
in light glaring over what you cannot see.
