Shadow

A shadow opens its soul and gives its heart away
It is in moments like this that a shadow becomes a light
A light full of hope and joy because there is a chance for it
A chance to let go and go on
A chance to skip to the present and stop living the past
A chance to change and become something else
Something more than a shadow

But the light didn't survive for long
What was a beautiful light is now a blinking light
A light losing the ability to keep illuminating its own soul
The energy stops flowing
The light is becoming dim
The light is becoming no more
It is losing the ability to create shadows around it
The darkness is coming from within and not from the outside
The light is dying

The light is becoming a shadow again
But not the one it was before
But a more experienced shadow
But a darker shadow . . .
A dark shadow roaming this life full of devastation
But yet . . . wonderful, in the sense that everything is beautiful

Everything is beautiful compared to the darkness of this shadow
But there is still hope
If there is a shadow, there is light creating it
If the shadow grows darker, then the light is coming closer
And that is why hope is still around
And will be around until all light is extinguished
And everything around stops being a light or a shadow and simply becomes a vast darkness . . .
