Most people think that shadows follow, precede, or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories. —Elie Wiesel, writer, Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate (b. 1928)
The shadow of a word
Is its opposite
The shadow of an idea
always bigger
The shadow of a desire
runs with tears
The shadow of an impulse
is where the heart is
The shadow of memories
are days without number
The shadow of a smile
is in these eyes
