Dancing with Shadows

In the depths of night, when the world’s asleep,
Shadows come alive, from their daytime keep,
Stretching and swaying, in a darkened dance,
A silent ballet, in a moonlit trance.

The shadows, they whisper, a language their own,
A secret code, in the night’s monotone,
Inviting the brave, to join in their play,
To dance with the darkness, till the break of day.

Step by step, in a rhythmic sway,
The shadows lead, in a mesmerizing way,
Guiding the dancer, through the night’s embrace,
A waltz of mystery, in an ethereal space.

The dancer’s silhouette, a shadow too,
Merging with the night, in a duet so true,
Moving in sync, with the shadows’ call,
A union of darkness, in the night’s grand hall.

The dance, a story, of the soul’s release,
From the burdens of day, a momentary peace,
A chance to explore, the depths within,
To confront the shadows, and the fears therein.

In the shadows’ arms, the dancer finds,
A strength unknown, a courage that binds,
A power to face, the demons inside,
To dance with the darkness, and in it, abide.

The night’s a stage, for this shadow play,
Where the dancer’s fears, are held at bay,
A catharsis of movement, a dance of the heart,
A journey of self, where the shadows impart.

With each twirl and dip, the dancer grows,
Embracing the shadows, and the truths they expose,
Learning to balance, the light and the dark,
To find harmony within, like a shining spark.

As the dawn approaches, the shadows retreat,
Fading away, in the morning’s heat,
But the dancer remains, forever changed,
By the night’s shadow dance, and the truths exchanged.

For in the dance, with shadows as guide,
The dancer found strength, to no longer hide,
To face the world, with a heart so true,
Embracing the shadows, and the light anew.

So when the night falls, and the shadows call,
Let your heart be brave, and heed their thrall,
Step into the darkness, and let it lead,
In a dance of shadows, where the soul is freed.

For in the depths, of the shadow’s embrace,
Lies a truth profound, a transformative grace,
A chance to grow, to heal, and to find,
The strength within, in the dance of the mind.

So dance with the shadows, let them be your guide,
In the journey of life, where the soul resides,
Embrace the darkness, and the light within,
And find your true self, in the shadow’s spin.
