When i was young
the mystery of light and shadow
was complex in its composition,
logical in its behavior.
You shone a light toward a chair
or at a piece of cardboard
the shadow could be found right behind.
But light has grown more playful
as i collect my badges of years -
it bends like an acrobat through the dark
and pools in little secret corners
like a tiny lake seeking the lowest spot
or a sleepy cat
curled for a nap.
the shadow of a dove in flight
creates a roguish path.
