As the sunlight feeds the shadows,
so a silver glow is spread
by the moon in deepest darkness
where the brave ones dare to tread,
and befriend the inner demons
that are hidden in their soul,
for the light and dark united
is what makes the psyche whole.

Very nice Shadow, love the photo with the words. lots of truth to this.
The image is a powerful one and contributes well to your poem - a perfectly matched pair. Great post!

Crying With A Sense Of Human
It is, as always, a matter of balance.
Oh, yes - dark and light were ever one. Loved the domed shapes in the image - so much nicer than square! ♥
I like the light and dark united.
Light and dark instead of offsetting each other, they compliment each other. Maybe the inner light does calm the inner demons. Nice writing.
A visit from the Shadow always brings me happiness! Thanks.
Ya know, at certain times I try to eliminate either that darkness, or sometimes the light. But I believe you are SO right, Shadow. It takes both to make...ME!
Great insight! A pleasure to be here this Friday.
Love, and PEACE!!!
"Are you HAPPY?" (Today's post.)--grin!
Indeed they do!
I missed reading your blog. :)
Provocative.
Quite profound. Light and dark can go hand in hand as yin and yang.
Shadow,..
The way you think and speak makes me feel whole.
Cheers!
Beautiful poem Shadow,

Ah yes to have dark without light is impossible. Beauty and chaos here, lovely.

I love this.
The truth in this,.

the photo reminds me of Windhouse on the island of Yell in the Shetlands
That last line is perfection.
Clever poem, it fits the picture very well.

You hit the right pitch every time, with truth enfolded in your words.

Hi Shadow I am more intrigued with the chipped pain and what it looks like on the wall in that picture. Blessings.

Extraordinary! The atmosphere is
touchable- haunting. Brings me
to a place of anticipation.

Light and dark compliment and distinguish each other. Beautifully written :)
exquisite my friend...yes the shadow and light are indeed necessary to complete us...we must not hide from either one.
