Night Shadow

You appear only in the night, your shadow in the darkness

of my room, barely seen, a form without substance I cannot touch

nor feel, nor hold – just there, standing – an outline of yourself

formed with shades of days past filled in now with absence of light

in darkness displayed as shadow upon shadow, layer upon layer

of same color paint distinguished only by the different brushstrokes

discernible only to this artist who has created the night canvas, black

on black, devoid of vibrant hues which once were reflected in sunlight.

An angel in the darkness, a night shadow, wings opening as to soar

through my open window fearful of what the light may expose.
