Temporary Shadows

Every fulfillment

caresses the shadows,

leaving feathered kisses of gratitude

in that place where it learned that

possibilities still exist through the impossible, that the

sun will shine again through the darkness, and that

emptiness is just as temporary as the shadows obscuring the light.
