Shadow Waiting to Dissolve

As the shadow approaches,
does the hourglass stop flowing
or does it slow down?
The light should have the answer.

As the shadow gets closer,
its arrival is greeted in silence.
Yet, is there a sudden flight
of a hundred butterflies?
The light should have the answer.

The shadow wishes to
dissolve into light, and
waits for her to shine.

If I am the shadow, and
you are the light,
do you have the answer?
