Shadowlight

The dark shines brighter than summer’s day.

Light bends in the shadows.

Eyes pierce deepest cloud,

But muddle through clear skies.

Murkiest ponds are seen with a glance.

Crystal streams remain unknown.

Thickest smoke-clouds studied and shown,

While fire-light forgotted to embers falls.

The dusty traveler wanders alone.

Mighty kings forget their homes.
