A COVENANT OF SHADOWS

It is a Covenant of shadows,
faults lost in blazing light
Moved by true love inspired,
by everybody’s night.
It is the wonderment of sharing,
the dark side of ourselves,
For in sharing understanding,
wisdom surely dwells.
From wisdom comes contentment
For our vanity is lost,
And for being what we are,
There is not any cost
For ‘tis seldom that we shiver,
When we understand the frost.
