Shadows in the dark

There are no shadows in the dark
Or are there?
Though not devastating
Ever awaiting
Can be the shadow

Differing shades of grey and black
Cast amidst the darkness
Lurking and in wait
For the day light shines upon them
And they can do their pogrom
Upon whom they belong to
Reeking havoc on the host
Tearing down the structures
A lifetime in the making
Never forsaking

As dust begins to settle
Sun shining bright
No where now to hide
Everything exposed to light
Time to rebuild
Shadows disappearing
As ruble is cleared
Lost in the sharing
Of truth

When kept in total dark
Shadow made a lark
Left powerless and lonely
Wondering if only
It could have some attention
No more ascension
Left to be kept however
On life support forever
For no breath of its own
Much tragedy be known
Any life that still exists
It resists
Wanting only destruction
For the host not to function

With awareness must come action
No allowance for fraction
Possible complication of emotion
Requirement of devotion
Shine light on fears and sadness
Invite in the gladness
Awareness aspiring inspiration
A most amazing sensation

Following the winter snows
As spring approaches one knows
New growth occurs
As young life stirs
Bringing hope for a new day
When humanity finds the way
To live in peace and harmony
A beautiful symphony
In life
