In twilight's elusive glow,
Aria whispers secrets deep,
Her voice a haunting, gentle flow,
Through dreams and shadows, that never sleep.
Her hair, a veil of misty blue,
Cascades in waves in a secret place,
Her eyes, where ancient mysteries brew,
Hold the stars in their embrace.
She dances with the gentle breeze,
Her laughter, an ethereal song,
In her depths, the lost souls seize,
A world where they belong.
With every surge and whispered sigh,
She weaves a tale of dark and light,
Of hidden realms where shadows lie,
And secrets kept from mortal sight.
Aria, the sea, a mysterious muse,
Her beauty veiled in a shadows shroud,
In her embrace, the night renews,
As light fades behind the clouds.
Lost
I like the light/shadow dance during sunrise as the warmth of the sun starts to take over the cold shadows of the landscape (and me :) )....

Plato’s cave of shadows is the most profound and simple statement of the relation of the natural to the spiritual life ever made. Men stand with their backs to the Sun, and they take the shadows cast by it upon the walls of their cavern for realities. The shadows, even, of heavenly realities are so alluring as to provoke ardent desires, but they cannot satisfy us. They mock us with unattainable good, and our natural and legitimate passions and instincts, in the absence of their true and substantial satisfactions, break forth into frantic disorders. If we want fruition we must turn our backs on the shadows, and gaze on their realities in God.
-Coventry Patmore, The Rod, the Root, and the Flower (London: George Bell and Sons, 1895), 68.

We had a blackout for about an hour and a quarter on Saturday night, so the emergency candles-in-jars were put to use...
The full jar is about 4" wide; the photo shows only part of the jar, not the full width.
I didn't join the group until after the week for shadows, so I chose it for the redux week.

Light and shadows reflecting from nearby buildings onto the Festival Theatre.
An unrecognizable man and woman, a couple, dance on a wooden deck in a public park. We can see only there feet and full shadows of them. Dance of shadows. Candid photo.
