Somehow this article found its way into my “Drafts File”, so I thought I should post it back into my “Published File”





“Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands between darkness and light.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci
Black Wings (a Haiku)
Shadows below me
Flowing above the meadows
They have black wings too
