Safe in deep shadows

Dancing in the dark
Allowed to peek out sometimes
Safe in deep shadows

Stayed on the quiet
Darting out from the darkness
Only when disturbed

Caught in beams of light
Freedom to fly out across
Up high in the sky

For Chev's CARPE DIEM Special #109  -  shadows

  3. Light allows us to see all, but dark gives us an appreciation for the light I suppose
