He stood there seemingly just a shadow of himself, br they were all just shadows. br br They moved this way and that, br collided, with an appearance of touching; moved on. br br What does one shadow say to another? br Shady things that hide clarity. br br They say I am tired, I am young, I am old, br I am lacking light. br br Casting shadows in every direction, br as, self luminously, light shines. br br There are no shadows without light; br all darkness? Merely shadows. br br And light when it meets itself? br Just shines, and knows.
