Light and Shadow
Standing in the light, soliloquy
Shadows linger behind
The sky is the blue we vainly try to grasp
The soul is the startled swan we vainly try to catch
The lonely shadow grows longer and longer
The faster I walk on the ground
The farther it drags me
And the light I can't hold with my outstretched hand will burn me
And the shadow I can't tread on will engulf me
