It's there behind a word, a smile

A coffee on the terrace at dawn

Sometimes, in a sigh, it is fertile

The light is always drawn

The friend of nothingness can be charming

In nooks and crannies, she is defenceless

There are times when it can be frightening

Shadow is never far from darkness

But they cannot exist without each other

In every person, there is a little of both

It's hard to get them to live together

To vibrate and love like a blood oath

One day, light, and shadow will be free

To exist to love, deliverance for me
