Shadows

In the icy depths of night
Where light live only in memory
But the light must be kept alive
If not to live without shadows

Without shadows, there might be no scare
Of creatures that prowl in the night
But if life was to be without shadows
Then life would be without light

Without light, life would be in darkness
In fear
In cold
In hunger
But if life were to find the light
Then life would find the shadows

In shadows, life might become scared
Others would blend into its inky depths
Some might go into their embrace
Others may never come back
