Christopher Hansard:[ In the Light there is no Shadow]

In the Light

there is no shadow

for the shadow is encouraged

to open its essence to the Light

in the hardness of cruelty

there lies a fracture of love

that will blow it all apart

in the clamour of violence

there is the subversive wish for gentleness

in the destruction of human liberty

is the voice of freedom

In the Light

there is no shadow

for the shadow is made

only so that the

Light

be understood

Sacred

soft and sudden

in its awakening

In the Light there is no shadow

in the darkest place light dwells

waiting to be seen
