The Penumbra

Hello fellow creators,i have a special piece to share with you today, it's the last piece of a series i call The revelation

I started The Revelation back in 2021 with the piece i named The unseen revevlation then the second piece which i completed early this with the name The Covenant and Finally we have The Penumbra
This series is about factors and situations in life that a lot of we humans don't pay attention to but are really there and sometimes should be considered.
A lot if things are there whether we notice them or not,whether we are aware of their existence or not, that's what the white eye in this series symbolise; lack of awareness.

The poem of The Penumbra
From the dark it shimmers
Hope in despair
Shadows from light
Darker as the light brightens
Behind all that owns form lies The Penumbra

The poem talks about the gray area of all things that are thought to have two sides because life is more complicated than just black and white, situations get messy alot of times and we tend to always stress to pick a side when in actuality there's a gray area that we should be aware if at the very least settle for when situations coul have been worse.
