The Limitations of Perception
I'm looking at a reflection of a shadow
It slowly undulates as if taking a breath
Here in a sunlit room in the middle of the day
Whilst I don't know which item casts the shadow
It causes me no concern
It's rise and fall never synchronises with mine
An observation quite unremarkable
Should it be studied
The item casting the shadow
Would be identified, the mystery solved
No one is looking into this matter
So on it will go until
An item gets moved or the light changes
Interrupted or gone forever
There are no insights from a reflection of a shadow
No synchronicity that will cause everything else to
fall into place
Unidentified, inorganic, out of sync with the watcher
My mind and breath just aren't catching the rhythm
Somewhere, at some point
My eyes fell on the cause of the reflected shadow
But it eludes me now
As do other answers I seek that
evaporate should I reach out to grasp them
I may observe quietly without progress, at distance
In a manner that just wastes my time
