Light And Shadow Poem by Theresa Haffner

Out of the Darkness-Light!
The forms emerge and move.
The play of light and shadow
brings motion.
Gradations of color bring
shade and hue.
Intersecting lines dance.
The forms emerge and recede
again.
The light returns to darkness.

Between darkness and light
life exists in all its
complexity and
variation.
The interplay of light and
shadow creates patterns
we interpret as meaning.
Here too you and I exist to
perceive these moments
As grains of sand on a windy
beach.
The forms recede and emerge
again.

Out of Light and Shadow—
-Life!
