You and I

Like a silhouette, I take form in your brightness,I’m the dark mass that takes shape in your whitenessA soft glowing light from the sky just before night,For you the sun and I the horizon, make twilight.A melody to a life time deaf,I’m the stave and you’re the clef.As you bring life to parallel black on white,Like stars that shimmer on a cloudless night.The stars that require the night to shine,Similarly, you’re whiteness is a gift of mine.For I exist with you and you with me,And without each other, we will never be.
