Shadows Within
Reflection
In the depths of darkness, a figure stands tall,
A silhouette of strength, amidst the flickering wall.
The candles dance, a gentle, mournful sigh,
As the subject's eyes, like lanterns, glow in the night.
The patterned wallpaper, a labyrinth to explore,
A backdrop for the soul, where shadows roar.
The coat, a cloak of mystery, adorned with subtle might,
A guardian of secrets, in the dark of night.
The flames, a whisper of hope, a beacon in the dark,
A symbol of resilience, a heart that leaves its mark.
In this chiaroscuro, a story unfolds,
Of a spirit unbroken, where shadows are told.
The light, a gentle caress, on the subject's face,
Reveals the contours, of a soul in a sacred space.
A moment frozen, in the dance of light and shade,
A testament to the beauty, that in darkness is made.
