Shadows

Great pale orb 
that shines it's light 
makes a monochrome world 
of our night 
shadows dance 
with delight 
in the certainty 
they are out of sight 
and as the new day dawns 
throughout the land 
they return 
to the feet of man 
knowing that again 
when the day is done 
they will do what shadows do 
till the morning sun
