A Shadow on a Moonless Night
On moonless nights, a shadow lay
Dark and silent, in a secret way
Its form unclear, its presence grey
A mystery, in the darkness' sway
But none could see, this shadow's might
For it was invisible, without a light
It hid in plain sight, without a sound
A secret keeper, in the darkness around
No eyes could detect, its presence so fine
No soul could sense, its hidden design
It was a whisper, in the dark of night
A silent guardian, without a light
But then, the sun's awakening ray
Crept over the horizon, to start the day
And as the light, crept across the ground
The shadow's truth, was finally unbound
A daffodil, of golden hue
Stood revealed, in all its beauty anew
Next to a stream, of crystal clear
Reflecting its beauty, without a fear
Its trumpet blooms, a shining ray
Gazed at its reflection, in a loving way
Forever entranced, in its own face
A daffodil, in a secret, sacred space
The shadow's secret, now revealed in light
A beautiful sight, a pure delight
A symbol of hope, in the dark of night
A daffodil's beauty, shining so bright
And as the sun, climbs high in the sky
The daffodil, remains, forever nigh
Gazing at its reflection, in the stream's heart
A golden bloom, never to depart
But when the sun dips, and daylight fades
The shadow returns, to its secret shades
Invisible once more, it hides from sight
A silent guardian, in the dark of night.
