Shadows

Shadows surround us in every thing we do, most of us in our  everyday routines never pay them  much  mind. The shadows that fill the small spaces and dark corners,  compliment the light that guides and surrounds us in all we do. Without the shadows, the light would surely become dull and drab with nothing to compliment and contrast it with.

In this life, we will all come on contact with the shadows that fill our physical lives, as well as the ones that are of a more human  nature, touching the edges of others lives, just enough to influence them or assist in a change for them. Perhaps to set them back on the path into the light. These "human shadows" slip into our lives and back out again and generally we never see the impact they have had upon us or our lives until much  later, and a small smile will cross our faces in remembrance of that  person.

A shadows life is a very  solitary and lonely journey. Occasionally they are brought into the light for a brief moment of ecstasy held in the warmth of loves embrace. All to soon the illusion fades as their time within that  persons life ends and they slip back into the dim light that forever encompasses their existence.

Take  note of the shadows that make up your world, for without them,  it would indeed be a dull and unchanging existence.
