Probing the Shadow

The sun touched upon him in mid-reflection As he searched for the shade of kind shelter Up and down he looked from tip to toe Cast his wandering eyes near and afar Closed his eyes but he caught a mirage Illusion or blindfolded reality uncovered He came upon an uncomfortable truth Neither outlines no contours only illusions Darkened the specter of vivid impressions When an invisible cloud pasted his mind He realized that only he was his own shadow 30th April 2020

If one knows which direction they’re facing, it’s easy to leave their shadow behind.
