View Full Version : The shadows

I keep finding myself in the jungle
While shadows flutter around me
And their footprints disappear

They carry the land I walk upon
And the walls of reality
Without turning their heads

I am afraid to darken
So I turn my head and stomp the ground
Trying to be light

Interesting - but not necessarily easy to maks sense of on a first reading.
It's as if the narrator is standing still and any sense of motion is really a trick played upon him as the landscape itself moves by.
And the final verse is presumably a play on words on light and dark.

I like this poem a lot. Like hillwalker said, I think it's a little confusing... But I like that (:
