Cave

[sofia82]

The One broke the chains.
The One could not resign himself
To the shadows and the echoes.
And He has been predestined to break the chains,
And He has been called to the Sun’s rite,
He came out of the darkness,
Alighted on the territory of the Sun.
He was chosen,
And complied with the Sun
To see, to hear,
And feel by the heart,
The whole Light and Truth.
…
And He was asked to return
Into the heart of the darkness,
To break the chains
With Light and Truth.
He went.
But returned never.

:) I like this one! Very dramatic - at first I thought it was referring to Jesus but then I saw that it couldn't be. But I still enjoyed it very much.

Thank you very much! Happy to hear that.
I did not think about Jesus when I wrote it, this one is a kind of savior that can be defined by even Jesus or other saviors in any religion. I got the impression from Plato's Cave! This is the translation of a poem I wrote in Persian, and I think it could be better but anyway.

This is mystifying.

This is mystifying.

Thank you for reading that. And why mystifying? I mean I accept that but can you explain more about your opinion of this poem?
