In the Shadows

Sometimes our best work is
  in the shadows.
Not out in front, making the
  most noise.
Instead quietly working in
  the background.
Not all is out of sight and
  out of mind.
We know where we are and
  where we stand.
We are familiar with the plays
  of light and dark.
We don't shy away from the
  hard things,
Because we are accustomed
  to being behind.
It is not always the most obvious
  answer which works.
It can only be found on the rough
  edge taken in.
So don't be afraid of the shadows
  which stay and go.
