Light and Shadow

Light and shadow I see in front of me
They are so close together
The glamorous brightness
Just in my nearness
Cheers me up
I feel warmness
But all pomp and all the glitter
They cast a shadow
Only round the corner it is dark
That I am frightened
And cannot walk one step further
I feel coldness
I realize ...
I have to pass it
Light and shadow I see in front of me
