[The treatment of light and shade]

Chiaroscuro

Where all meets nothing

Nothing meets all.

White kisses black

Between sunlight shafts

In forest of dreams.

The Holy Grail elusive

To grey metalled knight,

On valiant steed

Riding into pool of mix

Where brush blends earth and sky.

Horizon undefined.

Always a step away.

Not shadow,

Lip of another world

An open mouth inviting

Entrance between definitions.
