Dragonflies over water

counterpart to light..

  

 shadows are the new edges of the unlit 

 recesses into mystery...defines all shape

dark side of the moon and most of space

shadow is the night missed by the sun 

always changing till the new day comes

out of the heat or warmth a cooler space

a savior to all who seek a resting place 

shadows are telling they point the way

strangers of light... the edges of day

dragonflies over water my personal fave

the shadow to this artist ... I'm it's slave

shadows so soft... the highlights curve

the depths of imagery that we observe

without them the world would be 

boring and flat ...ti's no way to see     

         

shadows deep enough to hide in... to slip away

eclipsing heavenly bodies..between a solar ray

bringing hand to face a shield for eyes to know

and the one that comes with you wherever you go

Dragonflies one day dreamt me, as you probably know, through my writing, they are a real magical creature, and a sign of hope, and new beginnings.... of spiritual force... this was a masterful write, full of great lines, meanings, and soft whispers, to the one you so adore.
Much to learn here, in all mirrored ways... it's perfect.

Such a powerful subject! Your writing is so magnificently constructed.

I think I became a photographer when I regarded the shadow to be equal to the high light..
Thank you for such kind words Amos.

I adore this Rossen....your shadows are blissfully told. I can't pick out a stanza I like best, they're all pen'd so elegantly.....love your title too, it drew me right in. Outstanding feel good read.

Much enjoyed this poem, some clever images stirred up by clever metaphors. Excellent work sir.
