Conversations In The Dark

“Tell the truth,” one shadow says to Another.
“Do I serve a purpose for anyone?”
“No,” said Another. “For all that see you
Know already what it is that you do.”

“So I am nothing?” asked the sweet shadow.
“Only to those that are afraid.
They look out and see nothing but dark.
So you are a nothing but stark.”

“You are as blank as the air you rest in.”
Another pondered a moment, then said,
“Yes, you are nothing to all of mankind,
But then again, they are all blind.”
