In the depths of being, a mystery resides,
where darkness births the light, as it abides
embrace the universe's order, serene and sure,
where death and birth dance, forever pure

Darkness, our guide, in its silent sway,
reveals the path to light, in night's array
to awaken to truth, one must release,
illusions of self, to find inner peace

The Shadow, misunderstood, holds treasures untold,
rejected fragments of self, waiting to unfold
in its depths lie potential, waiting to ignite,
creativity and wisdom, hidden from sight

No matter the pace, our shadows dance ahead,
a reminder of self, in light and shade spread
