[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.
