Shadows and Silhouettes

⇌ Shadows versus Silhouettes, I have found many people get them confused; Half the time I think it's due to a language barrier, other times it seems there is a certain amount of people simply confused on the differences, which I personally can not really relate to. Shadow on a sun drenched porch at sundown, I felt akin to 99 from Get Smart ;) As a child laying in bed they entertained me as awaited for sleep to take me. With my hands or from the passing cars I watched as the shadows became birds or bunnies now and again some malevolent creature would arise, what between my inbreed religion and soaring imagination yes some object casting a shadow would frighten me; Still there was refuge to be found under the sheets and blankets... Shadow of the two tulips in heart vase peering at Eros and Psyche.. I fondly remember the shadows dancing in a garden in Woods Hole; where we the delighted, intentional trespassers watched the shadows grow and vanish as the full harvest moon of Sept (1986) played hide and seek with the rapid exchange of altocumulus clouds that didn't promise nor deliver rain. The shadows cast about as the moonshine shone on the huge Elephant ears, Hosta, the burdened zinnia stalks and chrysanthemum, beans and sweet peas the musk scent of the rich soil, incorporated w/ the sand and sea, as we could hear the waves crash on the rocks' Penances point glimmering with a ethereal phosphorus at brief yet enduring moments - then fade to black... Billy's gone since; I miss him so I know not where Rosemary and her friend of the forgotten name maybe.. but I know it was heaven on earth for me.. captured only with the cam that is my memory.
