Shadows, cast

The way a shadow is cast
by the moon
differs from that
of the sun or
back alley streetlight

for all of the romance
the moon
the sun
have to offer
true love oft times
lurks in the
noir of relationships
where black
and white
seamlessly shift to
shades of gray and
back again
without seeming rhyme
nor reason

Until the ultimate
denouement
when all is illuminated
in ever-varying
shades of darkness
masquerading
as moonlight
and clarity
of dawn
