Shadow Dancers

The shadow which throughout the day
have hidden quietly away.
In nooks and crannies which they know
Day is their time for lying low.

When darkness falls come out to play.
Although the sunlight rules the day.
The silver moon’s in charge by night
and she has granted them the right.

To freely frolic through the night
they do not fear her gentle light.
Though when the sunrise lights the skies.
They hide again if they are wise.

Perhaps the sleep all through the day
I do not know I cannot say.
I only know it’s my delight
to see the shadows dance at night.

They can appear and disappear
but they are far too fast I fear.
For human eyes to clearly see
the shadows dancing gracefully.

Our eyes accustomed to the light
don’t work efficiently at night.
Though sometimes watching quietly
You see them dancing silently.

Wow!! Great shots :) Ejrodriguez · 2012-01-20: 09:31

like the wall flower..it seems as though the shadow is earnestly waiting for someone to dance with them :-)) Awesome captures! KatysPassionata · 2012-01-20: 10:37

Very cool...love these shots, and I love the shadows. Great music as well. I love Chopin. So soothing soothing,reflective and passionate! mazpics · 2012-01-20: 11:57

Great pictures! I have been thinking about dimensions these days...the shape in 2D is the shadow of an object which is in 3D...could it be that we are shadows from an higher dimension... ? :) artvib · 2012-01-20: 14:19

Superbe la danse dans l'ombre:-) jeux d'ombres comme Renato! tikine3gogours · 2012-01-21: 05:42

Simplicity is indeed beauty! This is impeccable! Shadows are great mirrors! Somehow the shadows also remind me of Peter Pan's dilemma of losing his shadow and Wendy sewing them back together. globetrotdreamer · 2012-01-21: 08:12
