Shadows don’t get deeper
when they overlap.
They don't get darker
under a brighter sun.

Dragonflies out in the sun
They know what I mean

We share the same
filtered sun.
We share the same
moving shadows.

And we are all the stronger for the sharing.
All credit to 'Perfect Days'.  A Wim Wenders film. (With a little Nina Simone thrown in.)
Komorebi: the shimmering light and shadow filtered through moving leaves. It only exists once, at that moment.
