There Is No Shadow To the Sun

There is no shadow to the Sun nor boundary to his abundant rays he doesn't know a moment's peace neither the meaning of a "root." Wherever he tries to cast a shadow each time his light will be there first By Jove, indeed, a high price to pay for wishing to see everything. Inspecting all, all will be there to see you no piece of you a secret and your whole is bare without even a speckle of the shadow of an ant for your soul to find rest and refuge there.

An interesting approach to your poem, Archontoula. You must have read what the poet laureate Ted Hughes once wrote: when writing a poem try to imagine you yourself are the object...And try and view outward as if you are the object itself. You certainly achieved that here - Very well done! My very best regards! :) john P.s A seven.

It is trully motivating hearing this from you, John. I haven't read Hughes's tip, although I have read his work. Thank you for the comment and the 7!! :)
