Hidden Shadows


"Hidden Shadows"
 


Do Shadows hide behind doors?
Under floors?
Above the walls?
Through our keyholes?
Are they transmitted on telephone lines?
Did you get a feeling that objects were blocking the sun's shadows?
Or even your own silhouette?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Is Oui us?
Who are we?
What is God?
What is earth?
Are we made of God's artwork?
Statues with motion and movement?
Emotions with laughter and tears?  
Are we a dream?
A daydream?
God's dream?
A dog's dream?
Part of someone else's dream?
A violent storm with ups and downs?
Do we bounce and not walk?
Do we slide?
Let things go?
Born again yesterday.
Quite new!
Like winter's shivering cold snow?
Colors red and purple?
Head for your comforting warmth of shelter and heat.
I can see only through my naked eyes.
We are all naked in the eyes of God.
All of God's creatures are naked.
Naked they talked, walked, slept, and lived.
Black mirrors reflect the earth's darkness.
Hidden shadows reflected everything.
Can you see yourself in your own shadow?
Mine?
Ours?
