Shadows on the Wall
Shadows on the Wall
We only know third-hand what has happened
second-hand as the first hand controls all
things that dance and play as shadows on the wall,
in the cave where we grow and live within.
Who knows who is the master of shadows?
A man who holds the strings of puppets?
In tears and sighs, the woman who charms him?
With toys and dolls, the child who lies and cries?
Star my cat, who ambles his way along?
One may know, but two may not. It is said
and who can tell but those beyond shadows
from the origin and descent of things.
Then my cat will say, with a yawn and a yat,
“Go to sleep, and forget all about that!”
Finally, I get to write on one of the DVerse poets prompts. This was based on the suggestion of writing a poem based Plato's Allegory of the Cave. If you've not read that- here you go.
