SHADOWS

The shadow outside me
Disappears
In the setting sun
In the storm
When night falls

The shadow inside me
Awakens
In the insistent memory
Of nameless fear
Always when night falls

SOMBRAS

A sombra que está fora de mim
Desparece
No sol poente
Na tempestade
Quando anoitece

A sombra que está dentro de mim
Desperta
Na lembrança insistente
No medo sem nome
E sempre quando anoitece

...shadows have no weight...they are a sort of negative of the positive life...either inside or outside us... :)
