The Edge of Shadows

My Personal Poetry Challenge: Part 3

The Edge of Shadows

If you watch the edge of a shadow —
stand still and silent
so not to disrupt the flow —
you can see its edge move,
eon slow, steady momentum
Advancing or retreating —
edged dim and bright,
cutting into the future —
carving out the now,
creating an instant; our past
