Things feared in the moonlit night
By small children
Adults mock them to hide their own fears
Synonymous with things of evil
Murderous beasts of the night
Fear is evoked in us - something utterly primal
Quickly change locale
Spring, warm breezes sift through a newly green field
Some seek solace in the shadows - out of the sun's vicious rays
Are, therefore, comfort and solace really hidden evils?
To be lulled into them can be deadly
Ask those in Oahu that frightful Sunday morning
Several hundred rising suns screaming over the lush green hills
Or - is fear really something to cherish?
Fear keeps you from underestimating
A great one once said
He underestimated
No, shadows alone matter not
The glass is half-empty
Half full
When empty of liquid, it IS full of air
And likewise the opposite.
So then, it comes down to preference
Life-giving water or life-sustaining air?
Either way, you win and lose.
Shadows are good, evil
Shadows don't care
No matter - life goes on, and with it, shadows follow
