In the Shadow of Contrast

In the shadow of flickering candles, secrets waltz with their own flames,
In the shadow of eclipsed moons, the stars rehearse forgotten names.
In the shadow of locked doors, whispers carve stories into the air,
In the shadow of midnight's cloak, dreams unravel what we cannot bear.
In the shadow of breaking dawn, truths slip through cracks in the light,
In the shadow of our own silhouettes, we meet the selves we hide from sight.
In the shadow of contrast itself, clarity and obscurity entwine, divine.
In the Shadow of Contrast
