Shadow, Light

Terza Rima

Life halts at times on a vast overpass
where one may come to a pause at the crest,
looking below to view rillets of glass

gleaming, pondering every life’s test,
standing shadow’s length, diffusion of light
as side by side they sit, silent, at rest.

They exist, moving toward dark of night,
as radiance stops, shadows blend to naught,
where memories are stars, remaining bright.

Here, at one’s cresting, life’s loving is sought,
as remaining days are payback of debt
through hands in sharing, life’s lessons are taught.

Glassy rillets gleam in western sunset,
As shadow, and light, seem not to forget.
