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.
ReplyDeleteThe image is a powerful one and contributes well to your poem - a perfectly matched pair. Great post!

It is, as always, a matter of balance.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes - dark and light were ever one. Loved the domed shapes in the image - so much nicer than square! ♥
ReplyDeleteI like the light and dark united.
ReplyDeleteLight 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.
ReplyDeleteYa 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!
