Awakening Shadows



I see you on the walls, shades, shadows
Sometimes at night, when the rage of day is silent  
And I  am awaken by fright with shiver 
I see you in the corner of my room, poised


On the side of my eyes
On the shapes of projection, I walked past
Made by objects, on sunny days
Cast on the other side of the moon 


I always wondered, like love and its essence 
As a child, what you meant, such mystery 
Then as an adult, I forgot all about you
Seems science had explained your existence


But every now and then in apparition you manifest
You come to life again, the beauty of you, still with mystery
When science is made speechless
Without such blunt, arrogant words, of know  


And the heart sees in art
Something tells me, there is more 
Than I know; to the mystery of you 
Like love and it's essence, beauty bestowed

  8. "When science is made speechless
    Without such blunt, arrogant words."
    I like these two lines especially. Science can never explain a mystery like a shadow. Only poetry can.

  10. Beautifully written. If I may?

    'I see you in the corner the my room' (of my room)

    'Something tells me, there is more to you
    Than I know, just the mystery of you'

    Something tells me there is more
    than I know; to the mystery of you.

    Bravo, living art in a poem.

  11. nice...some really great lines here...science made speechless and the one after are really good..nice hook in the opening 2 lines...i would tighten it up a bit...

    I see you on the walls, shades, shadows
    Sometimes at night, when the rage of day is silent
    Yet I wake by fright with shiver
    I see you in the corner the my room (this line has a different feel from the preceding three)


    a different way of looking at it...

    Yet awake with shiver
    seeing you in the corner

  12. This feels like a rediscovery of faith. Children believe, without question. Faith that comes as an adult exists despite the question.
