SHADOW

SilhouetteOn the face of the moonAm I.A dark shadow in the light.A silhouette am IOn the face of the moonLacking colorOr vivid brightnessBut defined all the clearer BecauseI am dark,Black on the face of the moon.A shadow am IGrowing in the light,Not understood as is the day,But more easily seenBecauseI am a shadow in the light.
