The Siblings of Dark and Light

In a looking-glass we seek clarity,

Light bent back to us by Reflection, our images to see.

But Reflection has two siblings, each darker in their tone than she,

Silhouette, her lovely name a mockery –

As her inky form stands obstructing all things bright,

And so too their brother Shadow, who hides from truth and light,

He lurks behind us mimicking the shades of night.
